All Reviews for Things to Do in Winter in Hokkaido

I participated in the 2-hour course. My initial goal was to see the Furepe Falls, but I also wanted to look for flying squirrels. I was told that they can often be found where pine nuts are dropped, so I searched for those. And there they were! A flying squirrel eating pine nuts in the trees. It was eating for quite a long time, so I was able to take some great photos. The Furepe Falls were also magnificent and impressive. Additionally, I was lent snowshoes, which made walking on the snowy paths easy. It was a fulfilling 2 hours, and I would love to go again.

2時間コースに参加させていただきました。
当初の目的はフレペの滝でしたが、モモンガが見れるかもとのことで探して歩きました。
食べかけの松の実が落ちてるところを探すとその上にいることが多いということで、探して歩いていたら、いました！木の上で松の実を食べてるモモンガ。かなり長い時間食べていたので、じっくり写真を撮ることができました。
フレペの滝も壮大でよかったです。
あと、スノーシューを貸していただいて雪道も楽チンでした。
充実した2時間でした。また行ってみたいと思います。

We were blessed with great weather and enjoyed the pure white snow! Although we are not very active, we were amazed and thrilled by the snow, walking a lot to take photos and videos, observing the birds, and packing our time with fun activities. We were satisfied during our coffee break and on the way back, we enjoyed the pleasant afterglow while pondering what to eat. It was great that we could rent winter gear as well. I definitely want to go again!

天気に恵まれて、真っ白な雪を満喫しました！運動不足な私達ですが、雪にびっくり感激して、たくさん歩いて写真やビデオを撮ったり、鳥たちを観察したり、楽しいことやりたいことを詰め込んで過ごせました。コーヒータイムに満足して、帰りは楽しい余韻に浸りながら何を食べようか迷いながら帰りました。防寒レンタルも出来て良かったです。またぜひ行きたいです。

The weather was just right, with a little snow falling on the day. The drift ice was also just arriving, allowing us to see a more dynamic landscape than we had expected. On this day, we were able to spot deer from a distance, but we couldn't see them up close. I was very healed by the quiet air in the forest. Additionally, the guide's explanations were very detailed and easy to understand, which was educational. The descriptions that wove in the history of Shiretoko with information about the flora and fauna were very impressive. It made me feel a desire to learn more about the greatness of nature and history, and it reminded me that this is a heritage we must cherish and protect. Witnessing the plants and animals living in such a harsh environment inspired me to strive harder. I also greatly appreciated the help with the date change the day before. Thank you for the valuable experience.

当日は雪が少し降ったりなどちょうど良い天気でした。
流氷もちょうど漂着しており思っていたよりダイナミックな景色を見ることが出来ました。
この日は鹿を遠目で確認できた感じで近くでは見ることができませんでした。
森の中の静かな空気にとても癒されました。
また、ガイドさんの説明がとても詳しく分かりやすく勉強になりました。
動植物の事に知床の歴史を織り入れた説明がとても印象的でした。
自然や歴史の偉大さにもっと学びたい気持ちと、大切に守っていかなきゃいけない遺産なんだなと考えさせられました。
過酷な環境で順応しながら生きる動植物を目の当たりにして、もっと頑張らなきゃだなと活力ももらえました。
また前日での日時変更、大変助かりました。
貴重な体験をありがとうございました。

Before going, I was thinking about various things like whether my hat would be okay or if I needed sunglasses, but once I got there, the explanations were thorough, and they provided everything necessary. I was able to take a lot of photos!

Wearing comfortable clothes is key; I wore pants with an elastic waistband, and as long as you’re careful with double socks, you should be fine! It was mostly free time throughout, and since there were only a few of us, I think we had a lot of fun!

I brought my GoPro8, and I was able to use it without any issues with just a silicone case! Since the GoPro shutter is hard to press with gloves, I recommend filming videos and then cropping photos later.

I was worried about the cold, but once I took off the dry suit, I was warm enough inside, so there was no need to worry about the cold! Thank you, Keke, for the half-day experience!

行くまでは、注意点など読み返していると、帽子はこれで大丈夫かなとか、サングラスないけど大丈夫かなとかいろいろ考えていましたが、行ってみると、説明も丁寧で、必要なものは貸していただけますし、写真もたくさん撮っていただけました(*^^*)
動きやすい格好で、ズボンは腰ゴムのもので、靴下は二重は注意すれば大丈夫です！
終始ほぼ自由で、少人数なので、やりたい放題遊びきれたと思います！
私はGoPro8持参しましたが、シリコンケースのみで問題なく利用できました！GoProのシャッターが手袋で押しにくいので、動画を撮って、後から写真切り出しをおすすめします(*´艸`*)
寒い事を心配していましたが、ドライスーツを脱いだら、中が汗ばむくらい寒さの心配はいりません！
ケケさん、半日ありがとうございました♪

The tour guide was very nice and helpful. We were very comfortable and had lots of fun with this tour. The guide took lots of pretty pictures and videos too. The forest park was amazingly beautiful. It feels like we were in a different world. I will definitely recommend this tour to experience once in a lifetime. Adventures and fun. Thank you to the team and our nice tour guide Hirosan.

The drift ice and Abashiri Prison were impressive. The view from the Drift Ice Museum was also nice. However, the lunch portion was small. You can choose between a seafood bowl or a hokke set meal, but I chose the seafood bowl, which came with just the bowl, pickles, and miso soup. We were taken to the second floor of the dining area, and after the food was served, that was it. The staff did not come up to the second floor, and there was no warm tea after the meal, nor any way to call the staff. The rice portion was large, but the seafood was minimal. If lunch is simple, the satisfaction level might be low.

We disbanded at Abashiri Station at 16:00, but I immediately went into a hamburger restaurant nearby and had a salad buffet and a hamburger. It might be good for older people, but others might have felt hungry.

流氷と網走監獄は見ごたえがありました。流氷館からの展望景色も良かったです。ただお昼ごはんが少ない。。海鮮丼かホッケ定食が選べますが、海鮮丼を選んで、提供は丼とおしんこと味噌汁。食事どころの2階に通され、料理が出てきてそれっきり。店員さんは2階には上がってこず、食後に温かいお茶もなく、店員さんを呼ぶ手段もなく、、ご飯の量は多かったけど、海鮮の量が少なく。。お昼ご飯が質素だと満足度は低いかも。。

網走駅で16:00解散でしたが、駅近くにあるハンバーグレストランにすぐに入り、サラダビュッフェとハンバーグを食べました。年配の方は良いかもですが、それ以外の方はひもじかったのではないでしょうか。

It seems that there are many tours with large groups, but this one was held with a smaller number of participants, allowing the guide to pay attention to each individual. As a result, we were able to walk further out than on other tours. The guide also took many photos for us, which can be downloaded later.

大人数でされているツアーが多いようですが、少人数で開催いただきガイドさんが一人ひとりに気を配ってくださったので、他のツアーより沖寄りに歩いて行けました。
写真もガイドさんがたくさん撮ってくださり、後でダウンロードできます。

I took the train from Kitahama Station, and I thought it was short. Abashiri Prison and lunch were also great! It was nice that Notoro Cape was sunny.

途中で電車乗るんですが北浜駅からなんですけど短いと思いました
網走監獄や昼食もよかったです!
能取岬は晴れていてよかったです

I couldn't see the drift ice.
Lunch was disappointing. Previously, there was a large souvenir facility that served salmon chan-chan-yaki.

流氷が見れなかった。
昼飯がしょぼかった。以前は、大きな土産物施設でシャケのちゃんちゃん焼きだった。

Most places could only accommodate about 20 people in a vertical line, so it was disappointing that I couldn't hear the guide's voice from the back. They were probably sharing some good stories?

グループの人数が２０人程度で縦にしか人が並べない場所がほとんどでした。後ろにいるとガイドさんの声が聞こえないので残念でした。
多分良い話してたはず？

I was able to fully enjoy the first snowfall while taking infection prevention measures. I would like to return to Hokkaido in winter again.

感染対策を行いながら
初雪を存分に楽しませてもらいました。
また、冬の北海道戻ってきたいと思います。

The weather forecast for the day showed a southwest wind. My worries were confirmed! Still, once we headed out to sea, we were able to see everything clearly. Thank you so much, it was really great!

当日の天気予報を見たら南西の風になっていました。私の不安が的中！それでも沖に出ると、まとまって見ることが出来ました。本当にありがとう良かったです

A trip with my daughter from Kansai.
Since we usually come from a region where it doesn't snow, everything was a first-time experience, and we had a lot of fun and created wonderful memories.
We were able to participate in our regular outfits.
There were some activities where we got a bit of snow on us, but it didn't bother us at all.

There were free buses from New Chitose Airport and Chitose Station (Chitose Winter Loop), so it was great that we could participate before our flight departure.
I thought we might have too much free time since there weren't many activities, but we joined a plan that allowed unlimited play, so we enjoyed the same activities multiple times, and there wasn't enough time. Snow rafting was thrilling and exciting, and both the adults and high school students were very enthusiastic.

Since it’s a facility at a famous golf course, it was very clean, and we had delicious jingisukan for lunch, which had no odor at all. There was also a drink bar, and we enjoyed coffee after our meal while looking at the beautiful snowy landscape.

All the staff were very kind, and we created even more wonderful memories before leaving Hokkaido.
I definitely want to stop by again the next time I come to Hokkaido. It was so much fun!! Thank you very much.

関西から娘と二人旅。
普段　雪が降らない地域からの参加だったので、全部初めての体験でとても楽しくいい思い出ができました。
行ったままの格好で参加できました。
多少雪がかかるアクティビティもありましたが、私達は気にならないくらいでした。

新千歳空港や千歳駅から無料のバスが出ていて（ぐるぐる千歳冬号）飛行機の出発前に参加できて良かったです。
アクティビティの数は多くはないので時間を持て余すかな？と思いましたが、遊び放題のプランで参加したので同じものを何回も楽しめて、時間が足りないくらいでした。スノーラフティングはスピード感があり迫力満点で、おばさんも高校生も大興奮でした。

有名ゴルフ場の施設なのでとてもきれいで、お昼ごはんもこちらでジンギスカンをいただきましたが、臭みも全くなくとてもおいしかったです。ドリンクバーもあり、綺麗な雪景色を見ながら食後のコーヒーまで楽しめました。

スタッフの方もみなさん親切で北海道を離れる前に更にいい思い出ができました。　
次に北海道に来るときも必ず立ち寄りたいです。たのしかったです！！ありがとうございました。

The guide was kind, and despite it being winter, we had a great time. The waterfall we aimed for was beautiful, and both the snowshoeing and hiking along the way were enjoyable. The guide worked hard to find animals and plants and provided explanations.

親切なガイドさんで、冬の時期にも関わらず楽しい時間でした。
目的の滝も綺麗で、道中のスノーシューでもハイキングも楽しかったです。
ガイドさんが一生懸命動物やら植物を探して、解説してくれました。

I was guided by Ayano-san. Instead of a trekking course, we walked through a snowy animal path wearing snowshoes. I was able to hear many stories about the ecosystem that I wouldn't have learned by walking through the forest on my own. Since these are wild animals, there's no guarantee you'll see them, but during my visit, I was able to observe various animals such as Ezo deer, northern foxes, white-tailed eagles, and falcons.

In February, during the peak of winter, we happened to be there just as the drift ice was returning to the shore with the north wind, and we were able to enjoy the view of the drift ice spreading across the sea. I was captivated by its grandeur and forgot the cold as I admired it.

If you want to know the land, walking with a guide is the best! I was also comforted by Ayano-san's wonderful personality.

Since the temperature is below freezing, your toes can get cold. I think it's a good idea for participants to keep their toes especially warm.

ガイドの綾野さんにご案内していただきました。
トレッキングコースではなく雪の獣道をスノーシューを履いて歩いて散策。自分で森を歩いたら知り得ないような森から読み取れる生態系のお話しをたくさん聞かせていただけました。野生のものなので100%出会えるものはありませんが、私の時はエゾシカやキタキツネ、オオワシにハヤブサなどさまざまな動物を観察することができました。

2月の真冬日で、ちょうど北風にのって流氷が岸に戻ってくるタイミングにあたり、流氷が海に広がる景色も拝むことができました。あまりの壮大さに心奪われ寒さも忘れ見惚れてしまいました。

やはりその土地を知るなら、ガイドさんと歩くのが1番！綾野さんの素敵なお人柄にも癒されました。

気温はマイナスの世界なので、足先が冷えます。参加される方は足先を特に温かくしていくといいと思います。

We were blessed with wonderful weather on the day of the tour, and we enjoyed the snowshoe tour while listening to our guide's various entertaining stories. I believe that the time spent relaxing in nature, listening to the birds sing, became an invaluable experience. It also turned out to be surprisingly good exercise. I highly recommend it!

当日はとても良い天気に恵まれ、ガイドさんのいろいろ楽しいお話を伺いながら、スノーシューツアーを楽しみました。自然の中でのんびりと鳥の鳴き声を聞く時間は、何よりもかけがえの無い経験になったと思います。意外と良い運動にもなりました。おすすめです！

Since it was a rare opportunity, I wondered if it would be okay and requested the three-hour course. It seems to be a different path from the usual one, where we crossed over large trees and ducked between them, which was a lot of fun! I encountered a herd of Ezo deer and various birds, and it was really enjoyable.

折角なので、大丈夫かな？と思いながら3時間コースをお願いしました。一般とは違う獣道だそうで、大木をまたいだり、木の間をくぐったり、楽しかったです！
蝦夷鹿の群れや色々な鳥に遭遇したり、とっても楽しかったです。

Accurate description of the activities. The tour guide was warm and friendly. We had a lot of fun smelt fishing. Our group was thrilled and would love to do it again. Thank you for sharing Hokkaido with us.

Due to scheduling constraints, I could only enjoy one day, so I joined this tour. Fortunately, it was the last day of the season, which was really great.

Additionally, the guide's explanations were clear, allowing me to gain a deeper understanding of Abashiri.

On the icebreaker ship, I was able to enjoy the drifting ice. It's best to view it from the deck, but it can be cold, so appropriate clothing is necessary. I was able to see animals like eagles and seagulls, but unfortunately, I couldn't see any seals.

Abashiri Prison has facilities scattered around, and since you spend a lot of time outside, it's best to wear warm clothing. With limited time, it's important to focus on the key points.

At the Drift Ice Museum, I was glad to see animals that live in the drifting ice, like the clione. There were displays of drifting ice, and it was nice to touch them, but since I had already seen them on the icebreaker, it wasn't as impressive. There was an observation deck, but unfortunately, the weather was bad.

For lunch, I had to choose when I got on the bus in the morning, and the options were Zangi rice bowl and ramen. There was a souvenir shop on the first floor, and after finishing my meal, I could take my time looking at souvenirs and seafood like crabs. There were also souvenirs from the Drift Ice Museum and Abashiri Prison, but they were a bit limited. I purchased some local sake and beer from Abashiri.

After that, I went to the Drift Ice Special Railway and Cape Notoro, but the weather was bad, and I couldn't enjoy the scenery. There's nothing that can be done about that.

I felt a bit rushed for time, but I was able to efficiently enjoy Abashiri in one day.

日程の都合上、1日しか楽しむことができなかったので、このツアーに参加した。幸運にも、今シーズンの最終日だったので、本当に良かった。
また、ガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく、網走を深く知ることができた。

砕氷船では流氷を楽しむことができた。甲板上から見るのが良いが、寒いのでそれなりの格好が必要だ。ワシやカモメなどの動物を見ることができた。残念ながら、アザラシを見ることはできなかった。

網走刑務所は施設が点在し、外に出ることが多いので防寒具はしっかりと着た方がいい。時間があまりないので、要点を抑えてみる必要がある。

流氷館はクリオネなどの流氷に住む動物を見ることができたのは良かった。流氷が展示してあり、実際に触れるのは良かったが、砕氷船ですでにみていたので、そこまで感動はなかった。展望台があったが、あいにく、天気が悪かった。

昼ご飯は朝、バスに乗った時点で選ぶ必要があり、内容はザンギ丼、ラーメンであった。
ここはお土産屋さんが1階にあり、食べ終わったら、じっくりとお土産やカニなどの海鮮を見ることができた。流氷館、網走刑務所のお土産もあったが、少し少なかった。ここでは網走の日本酒とビールを購入した。

その後に流氷特別鉄道と能取岬に行ったが、天気が悪く、景色は楽しめなかった。こればかりは仕方がない。

少し時間に追われている感じもしたが、一日で効率よく網走を楽しむことができた。

Great way to see the natural winter landscape. Our guide was so helpful, accommodating, and patient. Learning how to "ski shoe" was so interesting and we might be converts! We had a ton of fun and the scenery was unforgettable. I highly recommend this!

The visiting hours at Abashiri Prison are not enough at all. I couldn't visit all the facilities. I had to wait 30 minutes for the train at Kitahama Station in the cold winter, and I was freezing.

網走監獄見学時間がぜんぜん足りません。施設を全ては回れません。
寒い冬の北浜駅で電車の待ち時間が30分、凍えます。

I participated in mid-February 2020. When I arrived at the meeting place, I was relieved to have someone carefully teach me how to put on the dry suit and help me with it. After a short 5-minute drive, we reached a small cove on Lake Shikotsu, where an area about the size of two tennis courts was frozen. From a distance, the white and transparent ice looked mottled. I learned that the lake water freezes clear, while the snow that accumulates on top freezes white. At first, I thought the transparent ice was thin and melting, but it turned out to be quite thick. The guide brought a pickaxe and let me borrow it to try to break the ice, but it wouldn't break at all. When I picked up a piece of broken ice, it had a unique crystalline shape that I had never seen before. I could also enter the lake from the edge of the ice. It was surprisingly warm for this time of year, with an outside temperature of 5°C and a water temperature of 2°C, so I hardly felt any cold except on my face, which was directly exposed to the water. By the way, I wore a T-shirt and sweatpants under the dry suit, and I had adhesive heat packs on my toes, but I was slightly sweating after the experience. Since I intentionally didn't let the air out of the dry suit, I floated comfortably in the water, which made me feel secure even though I couldn't swim. Floating without feeling cold while gazing at the blue sky was very pleasant, and I wished I could have stayed like that for another hour. The guide also lent me a snorkel, so even though my face was extremely cold, I could observe the underside of the ice and the bottom of the lake closely. The time spent standing on the ice and being in the lake was about 40-50 minutes, and with the remaining time for putting on and taking off the dry suit, moving around, and settling the payment, the total duration was just a little over an hour. Since it wasn't cold, it felt too short, and I would have liked to have at least double the time. I was very satisfied to have such a rare experience that is hard to come by.

2020年2月中旬に参加しました。集合場所につくとドライスーツの着方を丁寧に教えてもらえ、また着るのも手伝ってもらえるので安心でした。車で5分くらいの支笏湖の小さな入り江のほとりに行くとテニスコート２個分くらいのエリアが凍ってました。遠くから見ると白い氷と透明な氷がまだらに見えました。これは湖の水がそのまま凍ると透明になり、降り積もった雪が凍ると白くなるそうです。最初透明な氷は厚みがなくて溶けかかってるのかなぁと思いましたがそんな事はなくかなり分厚い表層でした。ガイドさんがツルハシを持ってきていて貸してもらい割ろうとしましたが全然割れませんでした。割れている氷を手に取ると見たことのない形で結晶化していて珍しかったです。氷の端から湖に入ることも出来ました。この時期にしてはとても暖かく外気温5℃、水温2℃との事で水が直接触れる顔以外は寒さ冷たさはほぼ感じませんでした。ちなみにドライスーツの下はTシャツと上下スウェットを着込み、足先には貼るカイロを着けていましまが、体験後うっすら汗ばんでいる程でした。ドライスーツの中の空気をあえて抜かずに入るので水にプカプカ浮くので泳げなくても安心でした。冷たさを感じずにプカプカ浮いて青空を眺めているととても気持ちよかったのであと１時間くらいこうしていたかったです。ガイドさんからシュノーケルも借りれるので、顔がめちゃくちゃ冷たいですが、氷の裏側を見たり湖の底をじっくり観察することも出来ます。氷の上に立ったり湖に入ってる時間は40-50分程で残り時間でドライスーツ着たり脱いだりの準備と移動、精算などで全部で1時間とちょっとの所要時間でした。寒くなかったので、もう倍くらいの時間あっても良いくらい短く感じました。なかなか出来ない珍しい体験ができてとても満足です。

This activity is so fun and memorable that i highly recommend it to anyone. It is also very value for money. I would do it again if I go back to sapporo again. The buffet spread is also very good. Do not miss the onsen too.

The ice fishing was really a fun experience for our group of six friends and family. Was easy to do and not as cold as we thought. Wearing ice cleats really helped, though. The guides were very helpful, always checking on us and giving tips, which helped us to catch more smelt. They had a great sense of humor, too. After eating the tempura smelt, we went for our buffet lunch which was delicious after all that activity. The onsen was the best experience, though and they gave us all the time we wanted, as the buses left every hour and were could choose when to return. First time for the guys, but the ladies really took advantage of all the different choices of baths. We liked the apple juice and ginger spa the best! Well worth the package price!

We experienced a three-hour course starting from the Nature Center with our family of three. Considering our physical fitness and the weather that day, we were guided to a recommended distance and course. Thanks to the careful planning of the route, the attentive guidance, and the consideration for our pace, it turned out to be a very fulfilling experience. On a clear day, we encountered a golden eagle, a white-tailed eagle, squirrels, and a herd of deer, creating unforgettable memories. I highly recommend it to everyone.

自然センター出発の3時間コースを家族3人で体験させて頂きました。私たちの体力、その日の天候等を考え、おすすめの距離、コースを案内いただきました。コースどりはもちろん、丁寧な案内、ペースの気配り等を頂いたお陰でとても充実した体験となりました。快晴のなか、オオワシ、オジロワシ、リス、鹿の群れにも出会え、忘れられない思い出となりました。皆さまにも是非お勧め致します。

It seems like the weather is nice, and although it might be difficult to catch fish, they provide various advice and change the bait to help you catch something. The kids get really excited and have a great time. You can enjoy more tempura made from the wakasagi than you catch!

天気が良い日ふ連れにくいようですが、いろいろとアドバイスやら餌を変えたりとなんとか釣れるようにしてくれるので、子供も大興奮で楽しめます。
ワカサギの天ぷらは釣った以上に頂けます！

I participated because I could tour the sightseeing spots in Abashiri. On the day of the tour, we couldn't ride the icebreaker due to strong winds, but we received shopping vouchers at a nearby roadside station, allowing us to shop leisurely. After that, we moved according to the itinerary and enjoyed sightseeing and gourmet experiences. The time we had at the Abashiri Prison was shorter than expected (about 40 minutes), so if you take your time, you might not be able to see everything (which is a downside). The view of the sea ice at Cape Notoro, our last stop, was breathtaking.

Since the sightseeing spots are far from Abashiri Station, you need to consider using buses for transportation. However, there are only about two buses per hour, which limits your freedom (it seems there are no buses to Cape Notoro). Considering this, I think this tour, which allows you to visit all the spots by bus and return to the center of Abashiri, is convenient.

網走の観光場所を巡れるということで、参加しました。
当日は強風で砕氷船に乗れませんでしたが、近くの道の駅でお買い物できる券を頂き、ゆっくりと買い物することができました。その後は、行程表通りに移動し、観光やグルメを堪能しました。網走刑務所での観光時間が思ったより短かった(40分くらいでした)ため、ゆっくり見ているとすべてを見て周れないかもしれません(そこがマイナス評価)。最後に訪れた能取岬で一面の流氷を見たときは圧巻でした。
観光する場所は、網走駅から歩くには遠いため、バスなどを使用した移動を考える必要があります。ただ、本数は1時間に2本くらいであまり自由がききません(能取岬はバスがないらしい)。そう考えれば、すべてバスで巡り、網走中心街まで戻れるこのツアーは、便利だと思います。

I participated in a experience of catching wakasagi (Japanese pond smelt) starting from Sapporo. The words about enjoying it with a charismatic guide and a small group are certainly true. You can experience wakasagi fishing in a warm vinyl house with a stove set up. The guide is full of hospitality, helping by scattering bait, changing bait, and checking the depth for wakasagi to ensure you catch them quickly. It can be quite challenging to catch them, but once you start, you can catch them one after another. Whether you catch them or not is a matter of luck. You can also experience drilling holes in the ice, and even if you don't catch anything, the wakasagi tempura served is well-seasoned, perfectly fried, and delicious. I highly recommend this tour.

札幌発でワカサギ釣りを体験できるということで参加。カリスマガイドと少人数で楽しめるの言葉に間違いない。ストーブ設置の暖かいビニールハウスでワカサギ釣りを体験できます。ガイドの方は非常におもてなし精神にあふれ、はやく釣れるよう撒き餌をしたり、餌を変えたり、ワカサギの深さ探ったりとしてくれます。釣るのはなかなか難しいですが、釣れ始めるとどんどん釣れる。釣れるかどうか時の運。氷の穴掘り体験もできますし、釣れなくても、ふるまわれるワカサギの天ぷらは塩が効いてて、揚げ方も抜群で美味しい。非常におすすめのツアーです。

It was perfect! It was exactly how I imagined it to be! I highly recommend this to everyone who will visit Sapporo for the first time :)

Since each tour accommodates only one group, you won't have to worry about interacting with unfamiliar people, allowing you to have plenty of conversations with the instructor. During the tour, you can feel the presence of animals living in the forest through snow tracks, scratch marks on trees, droppings, and remnants of their meals, with the instructor explaining each detail. You can lie on the snow, taste tree sap, and truly connect with nature. In the forest, apart from the sound of flowing water and birds chirping, the only noise is the crunch of snow beneath your feet, creating a wonderfully soothing silence. Especially for those who usually live in urban areas, this is an indescribably wonderful natural experience. They also provide transportation from Furano Station and hotels, making it accessible even without a car. You'll definitely find yourself wanting to live in Hokkaido. Highly recommended!

1ツアーにつき1団体なので、はじめましての方々と気を遣いながら同行するということもなく、インストラクターさんとたくさん話すことができます。ツアーでは、雪上の足跡、樹木に残る引っ掻き傷、フンや食べ跡など、森に生きる動物たちの息吹を感じることができ、インストラクターさんがひとつひとつ解説してくれます。雪の上に寝てみたり、樹液を舐めてみたり、自然を肌で感じることができます。森の中には、水が流れる音や鳥の鳴く声以外は、自分たちが雪を歩くザクザクとした音が響くだけで、なんとも心地よい静寂を体感できます。特に普段は都会暮らしをしている人にとっては、なんとも言えない素敵な自然体験ができます。富良野駅やホテルなどからの送迎もしてもらえるので、車がなくても参加できるのも有難いです。きっと北海道に住みたくなること間違いなし。とてもオススメです。
