Just 30 minutes by car from New Chitose Airport! Enjoy trial diving at Lake Shikotsu, which regularly ranks highly in water quality rankings!

So, including my personal notes, let's start by taking a quick look at the basics: what is Lake Shikotsu? Lake Shikotsu is a freshwater lake in Chitose, Hokkaido, and is the northernmost ice-free lake in Japan. As I mentioned before, Shikotsu-Toya National Park, which can be accessed by car in about 30 minutes from New Chitose Airport and about an hour from Sapporo, is one of the most popular tourist spots in southern Hokkaido, attracting not only Hokkaido residents but also tourists from all over the country who come to experience the natural beauty of the area as a famous outdoor spot.

Amazing transparency! 3 recommended SUP (Stand Up Paddle Board) experience tours at Lake Shikotsu! Enjoy this outdoor spot with easy access from Sapporo city!

Hello to everyone reading the Activity Japan BLOG! The other day, I wrote this blog post about going on a trip to my friend's place in Kushiro, Hokkaido this summer, but after doing some research, I found out that Hokkaido is overwhelmingly large and has a lot of interesting outdoor spots! I had been going to Okinawa for many years in the summer, so I was completely ignorant! I had no idea! So, I put aside my schedule to go see my friend in Kushiro and searched for things to see and do in the area around Sapporo, which is a must-see for your first trip to Hokkaido, while surfing the internet. I was really interested in SUP (stand up paddle boarding) at Lake Shikotsu, a lake leisure spot that represents Hokkaido, and I will research and share information about my personal recommended tours. There are many plans that look really fun, so I hope this will be helpful for your Hokkaido sightseeing in the summer of 2019.
