All Reviews for Things to Do in Winter in Hokkaido

Fun activity but too little fishes caught. Tempura was yummy.

I was wondering if I could experience a typical winter in Hokkaido, so I debated between the Asahikawa Zoo tour and this one, ultimately choosing this tour.

When they came to pick me up at the hotel, they were about 20 minutes late, possibly due to traffic.

Since it was a weekday, there was only one other participant besides us. It was nice to have a more intimate experience.

The tour ended early, likely because there were so few people.

Wearing warm clothing and boots, I had a great time trudging through the heavy snow! My grandmother was excited to see such deep snow for the first time, but she mentioned that the snowshoes felt heavy, probably due to her lack of stamina.

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any animals, but the guide provided a lot of interesting information.

Afterward, I enjoyed a warm cup of coffee.

After the tour, I received many photos via email, which made for great memories.

I really appreciate the kindness shown to us!

冬の北海道らしい過ごし方が出来ないかなと思い、旭川動物園のツアーとどちらにするか悩んでこちらのツアーに参加しました。

ホテルまで迎えに来て下さる際、道路が混んでたからか20分ほど遅れてきました。

平日だったからか私たち以外に1人しか参加していませんでした。
こじんまりと行く事が出来て良かったです。

終了時刻も人数が少ないからか早く終わりました。

防寒着を着て、防寒靴を履いてノシノシ大雪の中を一生懸命歩いて楽しかったです！
祖母はここまで積もる大雪を見るのは初めてだったので、はしゃぎましたが、やっぱり体力がないからかスノーシューズは重いと言ってました。

残念ながら動物は見る事が出来ませんでしたが、色々ガイドをして下さいました。

その後暖かいコーヒーを飲みました。

ツアー後、写真をたくさんメールで送って頂き、いい思い出になりました。

とても親切にして頂き感謝してます！

Due to global warming, when I went, the usual spots still had thin ice, so we headed to a different location. The weather wasn't bad, and I tried my best, but I didn't catch anything >_<. I had imagined a more fruitful experience, but since it's nature, there's nothing to be done. After lunch, we decided to give it another try. At that time, a female college student among the participants spoke to a local fisherman who was heading home, and he said, "It's a day when you won't catch anything, so there are fewer fish." I thought that if there were few local fishermen, it might be tough for amateurs, but that person kindly shared some wakasagi with us. Although it was relying on others, I ended up being able to eat wakasagi for lunch. The set meal at the cafeteria was also delicious and reasonably priced. During the second attempt after lunch, we managed to catch one fish each. The results weren't great, but it was fun.

温暖化のせいか行った時は、いつものポイントは未だ氷が薄いので別のポイントへ
天候も悪く無く、頑張ってみたのですが当たりなし >_<
もっと入れ食いをイメージしていたのに、自然なので仕様がない。
昼食後に再チャレンジをする事に
その時、他の参加者の女子大生が、帰る地元の釣り人に話しかけたら「今日は釣れない日だから少ない」と言っていたので、地元の釣り人が少ないのでは素人はダメかと思っていたら、その人からおすそ分けで、ワカサギをゲット。
他力本願ですがお昼にワカサギを食べれる事になりました。食堂の定食も美味しくてリーズナブルです。
食後の再チャレンジで何とか1人一匹づつ釣れました。
成果はイマイチでしたが楽しかったです。

We set off wearing snowshoes in a snowy forest, and it was reassuring that we didn't sink into the snow even as beginners. The guide was very kind and explained various things to us. We saw footprints of squirrels and deer, and I heard the sound of a woodpecker for the first time. The highlight was meeting an owl in its tree hollow. It was breathtaking. It's amazing to see an owl in the forests near Sapporo. I was able to take photos, which are very soothing to look at. It's a tour where you can really feel the beauty of nature.

雪の森にスノーシューを履いて出発、初めてでも雪に沈まないので安心です。ガイドの方がとても良い方で色々説明して下さいます、リス、鹿の足跡がありました、キツツキの木を叩く音も初めて聞きました、そして一番の目的のフクロウに会いに、いました木のうろに。感激です。札幌近郊の森でフクロウが見れるなんて最高です。写真も撮れたので見て癒されています。自然を沢山感じられるツアーです。

非常推荐的半日游！价钱包器材、吃buffet还有交通服务，交通不便的游客可以选择。不会钓的，还有人会教导你。这行程真的给了我们超棒的回忆！有机会还会再去=）

The children enjoy it very much. The staffs are very friendly and kind. This is really the great experience to my family. Thank you.

Went fishing today (March 7, 2016) and had so much fun. Got to drill our own hole, instructions on how to fish and sat in a nice tent. Also gave us handwarmers. Best of all, we went to a restaurant to have it prepared tempura style as an appetizer and ordered lunch...so delicious!

The guides were very attentive and patient. Spent our last day here with lasting memories and wanting to return again. Arigato Jin and Hiro (?)

Nice experience and nice services.Wanna try similiar activities next time

Even the Japanese local people is taking this tour. The tour guide is so helpful & can speak English.

We went in mid-February. Although it was snowing, in the tent it was warm so we could focus on the fishing.
First we made a hole in the ice, set up chairs and then started fishing like they told us, and we caught fish! It was kind cool being on the ice like that too.
In the kitchen area they will make tempura out of the smelt you catch for free, and we also had lunch their as the lunch sets were tasty and reasonably priced.

I went in mid-February. It was a bit snowy, but it was warm inside the tent, allowing me to focus on fishing.

First, I drilled a hole in the ice, set up my chair, and followed the instructions to entice the fish from the bottom, and I caught some! The subtle bites were incredibly fun.

It was my first experience on the ice, and I was really excited. The smelt I caught was made into tempura for free at the dining area, and I had lunch there; it was a reasonably priced and delicious set meal.

Right near the fishing spot, there are clean restrooms and wash areas in a beautiful commercial facility, and you can buy souvenirs and food, so there's no need for women to worry.

I highly recommend trying it out, especially since it's a limited-time experience!

２月中旬に行ってきました。ちょっと吹雪いていましたが、テントの中は暖かく釣りに集中できました。
まずは氷に穴を開けて、イスを設置し、教えてもらったとおりに底の方で誘いをかけると釣れます！微妙な当たりが超楽しいです。
氷の上での初めて体験でテンションあがりました。
釣ったワカサギはお食事処で無料で天ぷらにしてくれました、昼食はそちらでいただきましたが、リーズナブルで美味な定食でした。

釣り場のすぐ近くには綺麗な商業施設のお手洗いと洗面所があり、お土産や食べ物も買えますので女性のかたも心配ありません。
ぜひ、この時期限定なので楽しんでみてはいかがでしょうか。

The trip was very exciting. My friends and i enjoyed the trip very much... An excellent trip to experience... Thanks for organisig this event!! Keep it up!!!
