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

ノース・スノーランドin千歳 スノーパークで雪遊び 大人も子供も雪にまみれて遊んじゃおう!<12月30日~3月5日/新千歳空港・JR千歳駅無料送迎有/千歳市>

I thoroughly enjoyed the snow. 雪を大満喫できました

Reviewed by: デイ!

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。

知床スノーシュー半日ツアー 地元ベテランガイドと自然豊かな国立公園をスノートレッキング&野生動物との出会いも!2~3時間コース<12~3月/斜里町>by星の時間

A time to fully experience the charm of Shiretoko in winter. 冬の知床の魅力を体いっぱい感じれる時間

Reviewed by: Aiponchi

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!

Beast path 獣道

Reviewed by: himebuta

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。

網走発着冬定期観光バス 流氷砕氷船おーろら号乗船+観光列車流氷物語号乗車+博物館網走監獄見学+オホーツク流氷館<2月1日~3月1日/昼食付/網走市内発>

You can enjoy Abashiri in just one day! 一日で網走を楽しめる!!

Reviewed by: 名古屋のとある大学生

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。

支笏湖アイスウォーク|10年以上“日本一クラス”の透明度を誇る神秘の湖で氷上体験! <午前・午後/1~3月/支笏湖発着>by オーシャンデイズ

It wasn't cold during the ice walk! 寒くなかったアイスウォーク!

Reviewed by: まつもと

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。

Thank you for the experience of the Shikotsu Lake Ice Walk. We are very happy that the weather was favorable and that our customers enjoyed themselves. The way the ice forms and the amount of snow accumulation can change how we play, so please come back again when you have the chance. And let's count on your support for good weather next time, so we can enjoy other activities as well.

Great fun fishing, nice buffet and wonderful relaxing time in onsen.

Reviewed by: Natsue

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。

Riding on an icebreaker depends on luck, but it's definitely enjoyable. 砕氷船に乗れるのは運しだいですが、十分楽しめます。

Reviewed by: walabm

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。

ワカサギ釣り体験 カリスマガイドと少人数で楽しむ!<12~3月/半日/ガイド・送迎付/札幌発>

A hospitality-filled experiential tour. ホスピタリティ溢れる体験型ツアー

Reviewed by: 社会人旅人

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。

【1日1組限定】スノーシューピクニック ふかふかの雪の森へ大冒険!(3歳から参加OK)<12~3月/富良野エリアから送迎付き/富良野市>

Wrapped in tranquility. 静けさに包まれて

Reviewed by: K•S

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。

支笏湖アイスウォーク|10年以上“日本一クラス”の透明度を誇る神秘の湖で氷上体験! <午前・午後/1~3月/支笏湖発着>by オーシャンデイズ

It was a warm winter, so the appearance was a bit disappointing, but it was a healing experience listening to the sounds of the ice. 暖冬だったので、見た目はちょっと残念な感じですが、氷の奏でる音に癒された体験でした。

Reviewed by: こぎむ

I signed up for this experience because I thought, "This is something you can't do often!" since you can play on the ice in a lake in mid-winter. However, I was worried about whether the ice would be solid due to this year's record warm winter, so I directly inquired before signing up, and they responded quickly and very kindly. They assured me that the ice was fine, so I was able to sign up with peace of mind.

The actual time spent playing on the ice was about 30 minutes, including preparation and wrap-up. Following the instructions, I applied a heat pack to my toes and wore a dry suit, which made it completely comfortable (though it was also a day with no wind, which they called "perfect for ice walking").

Usually, I would expect to take photos with a Nordic atmosphere amidst a snowy landscape while playing on the ice, but this time there was almost no snow, resulting in images set against a rather bleak winter scenery, which was disappointing.

However, I was satisfied with the experience of hearing the sound of the ice cracking as I took my first step and the chime-like sounds of broken ice colliding in the water, all while floating thanks to the buoyancy of the dry suit, gazing up at the blue sky. The staff were all friendly, and my middle and high school sons, who are at a difficult age, seemed to enjoy themselves without hesitation. Thank you very much.

 真冬の湖で氷遊びが出来ると言う事で、「これはなかなか出来ない体験!」と申し込みました。
 しかしながら、今年の記録的な暖冬で氷が張っているのか心配で申し込み前に直接問い合わせをしたところ、迅速かつとても親切に対応して頂きました。
氷は問題ないとの事で、安心して申し込むことが出来ました。
 体験は準備から終わりまでの時間で実際氷遊びをしているのは30分程度です。ご案内の通りにホカロンをつま先に張ってドライスーツを着た事もあり、全く寒くなかったです。(この日は風もない「アイスウォーク日和」とお墨付きを頂いた日だったからと言うのもありますが。)
 例年通りならば、雪景色の中での氷遊びでちょっと北欧の様な雰囲気の写真が撮れたかと思いますが、今回は雪がほぼなくて、殺風景な冬景色の中での画像となってしまったのは残念でした。
 でも、自分が踏み出した一歩から氷が割れていく音や、水の中で割れた氷同士がぶつかって奏でる風鈴の様な音を聞きながら、ドライスーツのお陰で(浮力が付与)ぷかっと浮かびながら、青空を仰ぐ癒しの時間を体験出来て、満足でした。
 スタッフの方々は皆さんフレンドリーで、難しい年齢の中・高校生男子の息子たちも臆することなく楽しんだ様です。どうもありがとうございました。

Thank you for participating in the Ice Walk. We are very happy to hear that your whole family enjoyed it. As you mentioned, the warm winter resulted in less ice formation, but the sound of the wind chimes when breaking the ice is something that can only be experienced when the ice is freshly formed and there is no snow accumulation. The way the ice forms changes the activities we can enjoy. If you have another opportunity, please come back to experience different ways to play and other activities.

この度はアイスウォークへの参加ありがとうございました。
ご家族皆様か楽しまれたことはスタッフにとってとても嬉しい限りです。
お客様もおっしゃってた通り暖冬により氷の張りが少ないことなどもございましたが、氷を割って風鈴の音色がなるのは氷が張りたてで雪も積もってない時にしか体験できなかったりと、凍り方で遊ぶ内容も変わってきます。
また機会がございましたら、また違った遊び方や他のアクティビティを体験しにきてください。

夜のスノーシューと露天風呂入浴のセットプラン 幻想的な星空と雪景色へ!<富良野エリア送迎付き/12~3月/富良野市>

Our family's first snowshoeing adventure!! 家族で初スノーシュー!!

Reviewed by: ふうた

I wanted to play in the winter with my son, and I found this plan! It was the day before, but I was able to make a reservation right away, which was great. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the stars, but the snow falling made the night snow-covered mountains very magical! Thanks to the snow, the temperature wasn't too cold, and we were able to enjoy ourselves. We warmed up our chilled bodies in the hot springs, and it became a memorable experience that my son wants to do again!

息子と冬の遊びをしたくて、見つけたのがこちらの企画でした!前日でしたが、すぐに予約も出来良かったです。残念ながら、星は見られませんでしたが、雪が降って夜の雪山がとても幻想的でした!雪のおかげで気温もあまり寒くなく楽しむ事が出来、冷えた体を温泉で温められ、息子がまた行きたいと言うほど、思い出に残る体験になりました!

スノーシューツアー エゾフクロウの棲む森で動物を探しに出発!野幌森林公園5時間コース 防寒4点レンタル付きプランあり<12~3月/札幌中心部送迎付>

I was able to experience another world. 別世界を体験できました

Reviewed by: ろっぷちゃん

There was little snow, so it wasn't a snowshoe observation tour, but I was able to trek through a different world and felt refreshed. My husband, who participated with me, was thrilled to observe a Eurasian red squirrel, so I want to see one too next time. It was a tour that made me want to participate again.

雪が少なかったので、スノーシューを使っての観察ツアーにはならなかったけど、別世界をトレッキングできて、気分一新しました。一緒に参加した夫はエゾリスを観察できて、大喜びしていたので、今度はわたしも観てみたいと思います。また、参加したくなるツアーでした。

It was a very satisfying tour for New Year's participation! お正月参加(^_^)大満足ツアーでした^ ^

Reviewed by: みいさん

We participated in this activity during our trip to Hokkaido as a couple. They picked us up right in front of our hotel, and the staff member in charge was very attentive during the transportation. He was a wonderful person who made an effort to teach us how to fish and create a lively atmosphere! Just walking on the frozen lake was a valuable experience! Whether you catch fish or not... it's all about luck... haha. I definitely recommend this to everyone!

夫婦で北海道旅行の際に参加させて頂きました^ ^
ホテル目の前まで迎えにきてくださり、担当のお兄さんは送迎もしっかりしてくださり、釣りの仕方やその場の空気を盛り上げようと、すごく素敵な方でした^ - ^!
凍った湖の上を歩くだけでも貴重体験だったと思います!釣れる釣れないは、、、運です、、、笑
ぜひ皆様にオススメします^ - ^

Half Day Snowshoe Walk and Ezo Owl Watching Tour from Sapporo

Awsome hike with an even more awesome tour guide!

Reviewed by: Terry

There was a small miscommunication in the beginning where Veltra told us the wrong pickup location. After 40 minutes, we finally find out the right pick up location from our tour guide Masa and he was still waiting for us.

We headed out for a ~4km hike around Nopporo Forst Park. It took us about 2 hours and in between we stopped to have some hot coffee. Masa was extremely helpful explaining our surroundings. He was also giving us suggestions of where to eat and what to do in Sapporo. Overall the hike was a great getaway from the busy city and what made it even better is our tour guide Masa from Sapporo Active Navigation.

It's a place surrounded by nature, about a 30-minute drive from Sapporo city. The guide's explanations were clear, and they shared enjoyable stories. It was my first time snowshoeing, but it wasn't difficult, and anyone can enjoy it. Unfortunately, the Ezo owl didn't show itself, but I would love to go again.

札幌市内から車で30分位で自然に囲まれた場所です。
ガイドさんの案内もわかりやすく、楽しい話を聞かせてくれます。
はじめてのスノーシューでしたが、難しくもなく誰でも楽しめます。
エゾフクロウは残念ながら姿を現してくれませんでしたが、また行ってみたいものです・

大雪原の丘スノーシュー&温泉ツアー このツアーだけ入れる北海道長沼町大雪原の丘へ!ながぬま温泉入浴とランチ付き♪<12~3月/札幌中心部・新千歳空港送迎付>

Second-time snowshoeing as a repeat visitor. リピーター(2回目)のスノーシュー

Reviewed by: まつもと

Two years ago, I participated in a different snowshoe tour with the same excellent company, and it was so enjoyable that I decided to repeat it.

The tour I participated in two years ago:
Ezo Owl Forest Snowshoe Tour - Enjoy Animal Observation!
<Includes pickup from Sapporo City / January to March / Sapporo City>
https://www.veltra.com/jp/japan/hokkaido/sapporo/a/126900

This time, we hiked up a small hill with snowshoes, had lunch, enjoyed a hot spring, ate soft serve ice cream, and were taken directly to New Chitose Airport.

The outside temperature was around -6°C, but I didn't feel cold at all; in fact, it was so comfortable that I was even sweating a bit.

We climbed the hill for about an hour while watching the sheep and horses at the entrance of the ranch. When we reached the top, we dug into the snow to create a table and chairs, and took a break with hot tea brewed by our guide. Along the way, the guide took photos at Instagram-worthy spots, and after the tour, I received those photos instantly via AirDrop on my iPhone (of course, for free).

The lunch was also very delicious, and the Nagunuma Onsen was quite a large bathhouse with a pleasant outdoor bath.

I'm glad I participated. If I have the opportunity to go to Sapporo again, I would like to join tours organized by this company, not just snowshoeing. I heard they also have bicycle tours in the summer, so I would love to try that if I get the chance.

今回は小高い丘をスノーシューでハイクし、ランチを食べ、温泉に入り、ソフトクリームを食べ、そのまま新千歳空港に送ってもらうという内容でした。

外気温-6℃ほどでしたが、寒さは全く感じず、むしろ汗ばむくらいで快適でした。

牧場の入り口にいる羊や馬を見ながら小一時間ほど丘を登っていき、頂上に着いたら、雪を掘ってテーブルとイスを自作し、ガイドさんの淹れてくれる熱い紅茶で休憩しました。道中、SNS映えする撮影スポットでガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれ、ツアー後、その写真をiPhoneのAirDropですぐに貰えます(もちろん無料)。

ランチもとても美味しく、ながぬま温泉も結構大きな湯屋で露天風呂が気持ち良かったです。

参加して良かったです。
また札幌に行く機会があれば、スノーシューに限らず
この催行会社主催のツアーに参加したいと思いました。
夏は自転車ツアーをしているそうなので機会があれば参加してみたいなぁと。

氷上ワカサギ釣り体験 手ぶらでOK!釣った魚はその場でアツアツの天ぷらに<2月限定/昼食付き/札幌市内送迎付>

Fun! Delicious! 楽しい! 旨い!

Reviewed by: namihei

I participated alone in the afternoon course. Along with the other participants, there were three of us in the same tent, and I tried ice fishing for the first time. Baiting was challenging because both the hooks and bait were small. Since the fish were small, it was harder to detect bites compared to regular fishing. But that made it fun! In the end, the three of us caught about 60 fish, and we enjoyed freshly fried ice fish with salt and soy sauce.

Anyway, my feet got really cold. I think it would be good to wear multiple pairs of socks or use heated socks when changing to keep warm.

午後のコースに1名で参加しました。 他の参加者と合わせて3人で同じテントの中、ワカサギ釣りに初挑戦しました。 餌付けは針も餌も小さいので大変でした。 魚が小さいので、当たりも通常の釣りより合わせるのが難しかったです。 でも、それが楽しい! 結局、3人で60匹ほど釣り上げ、塩味・醬油味で揚げたてのワカサギを美味しくいただきました。 

とにかく足の裏が冷えます。着替えの際には、靴下の重ね履きや靴下ホッカイロ等で暖かくして行かれるといいと思います。
