Barato River Smelt Ice Fishing Experience with Free Transfers from Sapporo

Great experience!

Reviewed by: Gavab

Junjiro and Jin were our tour guides. They were very friendly and they set everything up for you! Prompt pick up, and they drop you off too. They also drive you to a small but great mom and pop restaurant where they tempura fry the wakasagi fish that you catch. Highly recommended!!!

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 had a great time. とっても楽しかったです

Reviewed by: ひよこ

I usually ski or snowboard, but it's been a while since I've had an experience playing in the snow, and it felt great to return to my childhood! I especially enjoyed riding the horse, the snow slide, and taking photos with the snow sculptures. I used this on the last day of my trip, and it was very convenient as it was close to the airport, plus there’s a free shuttle bus from Chitose. They also offer free luggage storage at the front desk, and I was relieved that I could rent shoes. (I think you can generally participate in most activities in your regular clothes.) The flow was smooth, and I was able to move around quickly, so I even had time to visit the outlet. I'm glad I decided to add the optional activities.

普段スキーやスノボーはするのですが、雪と遊ぶような体験をするのは久しぶりで、童心に戻って遊べました!とくに馬にのったのと、雪の滑り台と、雪像と写真を撮るのが楽しかったです。旅行最終日に利用しましたが、空港からも近く、千歳から無料のシャトルバスもあるため大変助かりました。また荷物もフロントで無料で預かってくれますし、靴はレンタルもできたので安心しました。(服は私服のままでも大体の活動は問題ないと思います。)回転もよく結構サクサク回れたので、空いた時間でアウトレットにもいけました。
思い切ってオプショナルつけてよかったと思ってます。

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>

I didn't catch much, but it was fun! あまり釣れなかったけど楽しかった!

Reviewed by: とまとま

We enjoyed fishing in a single tent with six people, using the prepared holes. Everyone except me caught more than three fish, but I only caught two, and one of them was an inedible fish other than wakasagi. Haha! I didn't get any bites at all, but since I don't have much fishing experience, I had a great time. I was a bit anxious about handling the large fishing rod, but it was small and easy to operate, so I was able to enjoy it. I was really nervous about handling the bait, but it was very small bugs that seemed to be frozen, so I was able to manage it with less resistance than I had expected. The rental boots made my feet cold, so if you have your own snow boots, it might be better to wear those.

6人で1つのテントで、準備されている穴で釣りを楽しみました。私以外は3匹以上釣れていたんですが、私は2匹でそのうち1匹はワカサギ以外で食べられない魚でした。笑 当たりも全然こなかったんですが、釣りの経験があまりないので、すごく楽しかったです。大きい釣竿などでは扱いが不安ですが、小さくて簡単な操作ばかりなので、楽しくできました。エサを扱うのがすっごく不安だったのですが、とても小さい虫で、凍っているような状態だったので、覚悟していたよりは抵抗なく扱えました。レンタルした長靴だと足の裏が冷たくなってくるので、自前でスノーブーツ等履いてる方はそのままの方がいいかもしれません。

The guide was very kind and taught us with great care! Not only did we go ice fishing for wakasagi, but we also got to slide on the snow with something like a rubber boat! It was a trip that left both my friends and me completely satisfied! The taste of the wakasagi fritters in the snow was exceptional!

ガイドさんがとっても優しく、丁寧に教えてくださりました!
ワカサギ釣りだけでなく、ゴムボートの様なもので雪滑りもさせてくださりました!

It was hot inside the tent, and I didn't feel cold at all. There are days when you can catch fish and days when you can't, and I didn't catch many, but I enjoyed the ones I did. They also taught me a lot about Sapporo. It was a lot of fun.

テントの中は熱いくらいで、寒さは感じませんでした。魚が釣れる日、釣れない日があるようであまり釣れませんでしたが、おいしくいただけました。札幌のこともいろいろ教えてくださいました。とても楽しかったです。

First time ice fishing for wakasagi. 初めてのワカサギ釣り

Reviewed by: さかな

My first time in Hokkaido, and since I was staying in Sapporo, I was looking for something to do around the area and discovered this! I planned to return on an evening flight, so I joined a half-day tour.

In the morning, they pick you up at your hotel, so you can get in the car without waiting outside. This time, we were the only participants, and the fishing spot was reserved just for us. The fishing area was a pure white wonderland! They take memorable photos with the great nature in the background. The guide was right there with us, explaining the timing for fishing in detail. The guide also helped us by putting the bait on the hooks, which was a huge help. We used manual fishing rods, while the guide was using an electric rod and catching fish like crazy. We did our best, but the result was 12 fish for us and 4 for the guide. While we were fishing, the guide made tempura from the smelt right there on the spot. (The guide even let us taste the ones he caught!) The freshly made, hot tempura was incredibly delicious and surprised me. Personally, I found the smaller smelt to be crispier and tastier than the larger ones!

There was a heater in the house, so it wasn't as cold as I expected, but my feet did get cold, so I think it's a good idea to bring foot warmers. Gloves with open fingers are recommended. The guide was very kind and a great person, so I would like to use this service again next time.

初めての北海道、幌宿泊だったので札幌周辺で何か出来るか探していたらこちらを発見!夕方の飛行機で帰る予定だったので半日ツアーに参加させて頂きました。
朝はホテルまで迎えに来てくれるので、外で待つ事も無く車に乗れます。今回参加者は私達だけで釣り場は貸切状態でした。釣り場は真っ白な銀世界!大自然を後ろに記念写真を撮ってくれます。ガイドさんはすぐ側に居てくれて釣るタイミングなど詳しく教えて下さいました。餌の虫もガイドさんが付けてくれたので凄く助かりました。私達は手動の釣竿ですが、ガイドさんは電動釣竿でバンバン釣って行きます。負けじと頑張りましたが結果は12匹、ツレは4匹でした。私達が釣っている間ガイドさんがその場でワカサギの天ぷらを作ってくてます。(ガイドさんが釣った分も食べさせてくれます!)出来たてアツアツの天ぷらはとても美味しくてビックリしました。個人的に、大きいワカサギよりも小さいワカサギの方がカリカリで美味しかったです!
ハウスにはヒーターが置いてあるので思った以上に寒くはなかったですが、足は冷えますので靴用のホッカイロを持って行った方が良いかと思います。手袋は指が開いている物がオススメです。ガイドさんが凄く親切で良い方なので、また次回やる時もこちらを利用させて頂きたいと思います。

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>

It’s definitely cold at night, but... 夜はやっぱり寒いけど

Reviewed by: JOG8

Since it was a night tour, I was a bit worried about participating with my family (including my third grader), but we had a great time. We were able to borrow all the necessary equipment, like snowshoes, and the kids were excited yet nervous about their first snowshoeing experience, but they ended up walking around happily, so I think it was a good experience for them.

We stepped into the edge of the vast Daisetsuzan National Park, felt the great outdoors, and when we looked up at the sky, it was so clear that it felt like the stars were falling, making us forget the cold for a while.

In the end, we also got to enjoy a hot spring, which made the tour very satisfying. The guide mentioned that many people participate in the tour when they have some free time in the evening, so the convenience of joining is likely part of its appeal.

夜のツアーということで、家族での参加(小学3年生含む)がちょっと不安でしたが楽しく過ごせました。
スノーシューズやスノーシューなど全てお借りでき、子供達も初めてのスノーシューでの散策にドキドキしていましたが、サクサク歩き回っていましたので良い経験になったかなと思います。
大雪山国立公園というとても大きな国立公園の端っこに足を踏み入れて、大自然を感じ、空を見上げれば星が降ってくるような透明感で寒さも忘れてしまうような時間でした。
最後に温泉にも入れて満足なツアーでした。
ちょっと夜の予定が空いたときなど利用してツアーに参加される方も多いとガイドさんが言っていましたので、手軽に参加できるところも魅力なんでしょうね。

Participating in the night cruising at Tokachidake. 十勝岳のナイトクルージング参加

Reviewed by: かえる

I participated in the night cruising at Tokachidake. I borrowed snow boots at the reception and then traveled by car for about an hour to the location. A kind and handsome instructor helped me put on the snowshoes, handed me a light, and off we went!

He explained a lot about the types of trees we encountered. There were many pines, but I thought the leaves looked more like a mix between cypress and cedar. I learned that you can tell the wind direction by the way the branches grow, and that some trees change dramatically over time. There were also trees that smelled refreshing when you rubbed them, making for a very enjoyable walk.

I was impressed by how well the snowshoes handled the snowy paths. The wisdom of people from the past is truly remarkable. We reached the goal by sliding down the snowy mountain like a slide. This area is commonly known as the "Miyama-sama" slope, where trees were cut down for members of the imperial family to ski.

Looking up at the night sky, the stars were absolutely beautiful. After that, I soaked in a hot spring, warming my body to the core. There was also an outdoor bath where the kids were having fun, but it was too cold for me to handle, haha.

I had a wonderful time enjoying the nature of Hokkaido, and it became a great memory. Thank you very much!

十勝岳のナイトクルージング参加させて頂きました。
受付でスノーブーツを借りて、そこから現地まで車で小1時間程移動しました。
優しくてイケメンのインストラクター君がカンジキ装着するのを手伝ってくれ、ライトを持たせてもらい、いざ出発〜♫
木の種類の説明をたくさんしてくれて、松科が多かったんだけど、松と言うより檜と杉の間みたいな葉っぱだなあと思いました。
枝ぶりで風向きが分かるとか、時を重ねると見た目がガラリと変わる木、揉むと清々しい香りがする木などなど、とても楽しく散策できました。
雪道をもろともしないカンジキってすごいなあと感激。
昔の人の知恵は素晴らしい。
ゴールは雪山を滑り台のように降りました。
そこは通称宮様ゲレンデと呼ばれ、皇室の人が滑るために木が切られたんだそうな…。
夜空を見上げると満点の星。とても綺麗でした。
その後は温泉につかり、身体の芯まで温まりました♫
露天風呂もあり、子ども達は楽しんでましたが、さすがに私は寒すぎて無理でした笑笑
北海道の自然を満喫できてとてもいい思い出になりました。
どうもありがとうございました。

It's just right. 丁度よいです

Reviewed by: あーちゃん

This is a perfect activity to enjoy during the free time before your flight from Chitose. Each activity takes a short amount of time, and depending on the crowd, you can complete everything in about one to two hours. On the day of my visit, there were many Asian tour groups, but the staff handled everything efficiently, ensuring a smooth experience. Depending on the weather, I recommend participating in ski wear or similar attire. If I had to suggest something, it would be great if the rides had a bit more power for added enjoyment, but they might be just right for women and children. The cost performance is good, making it a great recommendation for families looking to enjoy some snow play in a short amount of time.

千歳からのフライト前の空き時間に丁度良いアクティビティです。それぞれの所要時間は短く、混雑具合にもよりますが1時間から2時間程度ですべて回れます。当日はアジア系の団体客が多数来場していましたが、スタッフの方がてきぱき捌いておりスムーズに流れていました。天候にもよりますがスキーウエア等での参加がおすすめです。欲を言えば乗り物系にもう少し馬力があれば尚楽しめましたが、女性や子供には程よいかもしれません。コストパフォーマンスも良く短時間で雪遊びを楽しみたいご家族におすすめです。

First time ice fishing for wakasagi. はじめてのワカサギ釣り

Reviewed by: Kiuchi

I participated in a half-day tour in the morning to catch a flight in the evening. In the morning, I was picked up at my hotel along with two other groups, and we headed to the fishing spot. The fishing area was already set up, and our guide explained the fishing techniques before we started. I had the impression that I would catch many fish, but in the end, I only caught three in about two hours. Other customers seemed to have similar results, so perhaps it was just a bad day for fishing.

At first, I was only getting bites without catching anything, but in the second half, I started to pick up some tips, and that’s when we wrapped up. The fish we caught were made into tempura and we got to eat them right there. They were simply seasoned with salt, but they were very delicious! I wish I had taken it more seriously and caught more fish.

I was supposed to be dropped off at Sapporo Station on the way back, but surprisingly, I wasn't too full, so the guide recommended a delicious ramen shop and dropped me off there. I’m grateful for that.

It was very cold inside the hut, so I think anyone going should definitely bring "shoe warmers." I saw some in the car on the way back, so maybe they would provide them if you ask? Also, my backside was cold, so if they could provide some cushions, that would be perfect. Overall, it was a fun experience.

夕刻のフライトで帰るため、AM半日のツアーに参加しました。
朝はホテルまで迎えにきてもらい、他に2組をピックアップしていざ釣り場へ。
釣り場はすでにセッティングされており、ガイドさんにつり方のポイントなどをレクチャーしてもらいスタート。イメージでは、何匹も釣れるようなイメージでいったのですが、結果は2hくらいで3匹・・他のお客様も同じくらいだったので、日が悪かったのでしょうか。
ただ、最初はエサを食い逃げされる一方でしたが、後半はなんとなくコツを覚えてきて、、というところで終了。。釣った魚は天ぷらにしてそのばで食べれました。これがただの塩味だったのですが、とてもうまい!こんなことならもっと真剣に沢山釣っておけばよかった・・。帰りは札幌駅まで送ってもらう予定でしたが、予想外に?おなかいっぱいにならなかったので、おいしいラーメン屋さんをガイドさんに教えてもらい、そこに降ろしてくれました。感謝。
小屋の中でしたがとても寒かったので、行かれるかたは「靴のホッカイロ」が必須だと思います。(帰りの車に置いてあってのが見えたので、もしかして希望すればくれるかも??)あとは、おしりが寒かったので、座布団なんかを用意してもらえれば完璧かと。。とにかく楽しい体験でした。

First experience with snowshoeing. スノーシュー初体験

Reviewed by: はーさん

Winter trip to Hokkaido. After searching for experiences that can only be enjoyed during this season, I ended up trying snowshoeing. Since it was my first time and I had an elementary school child with me, I was worried about whether it would be okay, but the guide carefully checked everyone's situation as we progressed, so I was able to relax and enjoy it. Additionally, the guides are all nature guides, which made the experience fun, and they provided various explanations about nature, keeping my child interested and engaged. If I have the opportunity, I would definitely like to participate again.

冬の北海道旅行。この時期にしか体験できないものは無いかと探した結果スノーシューにたどり着きました。初めてのスノーシューで小学生の子供がいるので大丈夫かと心配でしたがガイドの方がみんなの状況を細かく確認しながら進んでいけたので安心して楽しめました。また、こちらのガイドの方はは皆ネイチャーガイドといって体験も楽しくさせてもらえるのですが自然についていろいろ解説して頂けるので子供も興味津々で話を聞いて楽しめていました。機械があれば是非また参加したいです。

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

I was able to meet a deer and a fox! シカとキツネに会えました!

Reviewed by: ららサンシャイン

It had snowed quite a bit the day before, making it slightly more difficult to walk than usual, but thanks to the snowshoes, we were able to progress steadily through the fresh snow. It was great that the guide shared the names of rare plants, which we wouldn't have been able to identify on our own. When we got close to the waterfall, the guide pointed out, "There's a fox," and when we looked over, we saw a fox quietly watching us from behind a tree before it disappeared into the forest.

When we reached the turnaround point, we hadn't encountered any deer yet, and I jokingly said, "We can't go back without seeing a deer!" Suddenly, a group of five or six deer appeared right in front of us. It was so moving! The guide advised us to approach them gradually, without showing too much interest, and we were able to get quite close. We enjoyed watching the little deer that flew around us and took plenty of pictures.

On the way back, I wanted to see the sunset, and the guide hurriedly packed up the snowshoes. From a nearby cape, we were able to enjoy a beautiful sunset! Since we were the only participants during the off-season and the weather was perfect, it turned out to be the best day ever!

前日に雪がけっこう降り、通常よりも若干歩きにくい日のようでしたが、スノーシューのおかげで新雪の中を、ずんずん進むことができました。
ガイドさんが珍しい植物の名前などを教えて下さるのが良かったです、素人には見つけられないので。
滝の近くまで行った時「キツネがいるよ」と教えて下さり、そちらを見ると、
キツネさんが、木の陰でじっとこちらを伺い、そして森の奥に消えていきました。
折り返し地点まで来て、シカにはまだ出会えていなかったので、「シカに会えないと帰れないわー」とか言っていたら、突然目の前にシカが5,6匹現れました。感動しました~(*^_^*)
「シカに関心がない風に、正面からではなく徐々に近づくように」と教えて下さり、かなりの近距離まで行くことができました。私たちの近くを飛び回る小ジカをじっくりと眺め、写真もいっぱい撮れました。
それから帰り道、私は夕陽が見たかったのですが、ガイドさんはスノーシューを急いで片づけて下さり、途中の岬から、とてもきれいな夕陽を眺めることができました!
シーズンオフで参加者が私たちだけだったのと、お天気にも恵まれ、最高の1日になりました!!

Snow activity experience スノーアクティビティ体験

Reviewed by: まーちゃ

The snow activities I experienced this time were snow rafting, ATV riding, snowmobiling, and horseback riding on snow. Snow rafting involved riding in a boat being pulled on the snow by a snowmobile, and it was more thrilling than I expected! The ATV was a smaller single-rider buggy that allowed for five laps, and it was easy to operate and a lot of fun! The snowmobile was similar to a jet ski and easier to handle than the buggy, making it enjoyable to ride on bumpy paths! During the horseback riding on snow, I was able to take commemorative photos with a calm and cute horse, and the scenery while riding was breathtaking, showcasing the majestic landscapes of Hokkaido. I also got to see wild deer, which was very soothing! It was truly enjoyable and went by in a flash, leaving me very satisfied! I came here on this trip, but I definitely want to come back to Hokkaido and experience it again! It became an unforgettable experience! Thank you very much! (*^^*)

今回体験したスノーアクティビティはスノーラフティング 4輪バギー スノーモービル 雪上乗馬です。スノーラフティングはボートに乗って雪の上をスノーモービルで引っ張ってもらって滑るアクティビティで思ったよりスピード感があってよかったです♪4輪バギーは一人乗りの小さめのバギーで5周回れるという物でした♪操作も簡単で楽しくあっという間でした♪スノーモービルはジェットスキーのような物でバギーよりも操作が簡単ででこぼこの道での走行が楽しかったです♪雪上乗馬はおとなしくてかわいい馬との記念撮影ができて乗馬した時の風景が北海道の雄大な景色が広がっていて北海道らしさを感じられて感動しました♪野生の鹿も見れて癒されました♪本当に楽しくてあっという間で大満足でした♪今回旅行で来たのですが是非また北海道に来て体験したいと思いました♪忘れられないいい経験になりました♪ありがとうございました(*^^*)

I had a great time. とても楽しかったです

Reviewed by: ロミちゃん

On January 7th, I had a fantastic time playing in the snow at North Snowland Inn Chitose! I used a package plan that included snowmobiling and horseback riding in the snow. Even without a car, it was just a 10-minute taxi ride from JR Chitose Station, costing less than 1500 yen. The location of North Snowland Inn Chitose, just 15 minutes from the airport, is perfect. You can enjoy unlimited snow activities! It was a great deal that allowed us to enjoy snowmobiling and horseback riding.

Since it was a monitor plan where two people could play for the price of one adult, we added 2300 yen for our child, and the three of us had a great time for under 6000 yen. We played for about two hours. The weather was nice, and there were no crowds, which made it even more enjoyable.

However, the horseback riding felt a bit short, and I wished we could have walked a longer distance. The tire tubing was available multiple times, and my child was thrilled. But it seems that my son enjoyed the snowmobiling the most. I would love to use this place again if I have the chance.

1月7日に
ノース・スノーランドイン千歳で雪遊び三昧!スノーモービル・雪中乗馬などのセットプラン
をりようさせていただきました。車がなくてもJR千歳駅からタクシーで10分、千歳駅からタクシーで1500円かからずいけました。空港までは15分のノース・スノーランドイン千歳で、立地も文句なしです。雪遊びし放題!スノーモービルや雪中乗馬まで楽しめるお得なプランでした。
大人1人分の料金で二人遊べるお得なモニタープランだったので、子供2300円足して、家族三人で6000円かからずに遊べました。2時間ほどたっぷり遊べました。天候もよく混雑もなくたのしませてもらいました。

引馬が距離が短く物足りなさが残りました。
もう少し長い距離歩けたらよいかと思います。
タイヤチューブは何度もできて
子供は大喜びでした。
でも、やはりスノーモービルが息子は一番たのしかったようです。
また機会があったら利用したいと思います

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>

Wakasagi! Wakasagi! ワカサギ!ワカサギ!

Reviewed by: motto

I thought ice fishing would be quite challenging, but this tour required no preparation, making it easy to participate. I believe it's suitable for those who want to try it out a bit or for families with children. This time, there were nine of us in the group, and it seemed like most were tourists from outside Hokkaido. If you're coming to Hokkaido in winter, why not give it a try?

They picked us up at a meeting point near Sapporo Station and took us directly to the fishing spot. They also dropped us off in Sapporo city on the way back (they seem to be flexible to some extent, so feel free to negotiate with the guide). The transportation was easy.

At the fishing spot, the house was already set up, and the fishing holes were already made, so we just needed to dig a little more. The guide took care of this, but you can join in if you wish. I think it would be fun to experience it since you're there.

Since we were fishing inside the house, it wasn't as cold as I expected, but my hands and feet still got cold. Gloves, hand warmers, and warm clothing are essential. Be careful as your feet can get quite wet (you can borrow rubber boots for free). Ideally, it would be nice if they could put down wooden boards or something to keep our feet dry. Also, sitting directly on the wooden benches was hard, so having cushions would be helpful.

Since it was a half-day course, just as I was getting the hang of the fishing techniques, time was up. I didn't catch as many as I hoped, but the tempura was delicious.

ワカサギ釣りはハードルが高いと思ってましたが、このツアーは準備が要らないので、気軽に参加できました。ちょっと体験してみたい方やお子さま連れでも参加しやすいと思います。今回は9名のグループでしたが、ほぼ北海道外の観光客のようでした。せっかく冬の北海道に来るのなら体験してみてはいかがでしょうか。
札幌駅周辺の集合場所でピックアップしてくれ、釣り場に直行。帰りも札幌市内に降ろしてくれます(ある程度融通は聞くようなので、ガイドさんに交渉してみてください)。移動は楽です。
釣り場には既にハウスが張ってあり、釣り穴も既に空いているので、少し堀り直す程度です。この行程はガイドさんがやってくれますが、希望すれば参加できます。せっかくなので体験してみても楽しいと思います。
ハウス内で釣りをするので思ったより寒くはありませんでしたが、やはり手足から冷えます。手袋、カイロと暖かい服装は必須です。足元が結構濡れるので気を付けてください(無料で長靴借りられます)。希望なのですが、足元に木の板など引いてもらえると濡れなくてすむかなと。後木のイスに直に座っていると固かったので、クッションなどあると助かるかなと思います。
半日コースだったので、釣りのコツを教えてもらい慣れてきた頃に時間切れ。思ったようには釣れませんでしたが、天ぷらは美味しかったです。

  • 希望を言えばドリルで穴を空ける体験も出来ます!

Traditional Winter Pond Smelt Fishing with Fresh Tempura from Sapporo

Awesome Experience

Reviewed by: QJS

This was to be our first experience at ice fishing, and really, we were excited just at the thought of it but were not exactly sure what to expect.

Our little adventure started with a pick-up right at our hotel lobby in Sapporo. No hiccups – the vehicle arrived right on time. A good surprise here though – while it was stated upfront that this would be a tour entirely conducted in Japanese, you could imagine our delight when our tour guide demonstrated that he is more than able to converse in basic English!

The ride to the fishing ground (my wife believed it to be the Barato river) took slightly less than half an hour, and the guide stopped by at a local convenience store just prior to reaching our destination. Here, you could grab some light refreshments but more importantly, make a trip to the restroom.

The frozen lake (or river) was a beautiful sight. Walking through thick snow en-route to the fishing site was an experience in itself. Prior to alighting from the vehicle, the guide made sure that we had the proper footwear on us; I didn’t, and was given a pair of waterproof boots. We got into one of the pre-built tents at the fishing site, and was glad that the guide thoughtfully brought along a portable heater. Not exactly warm and cozy, but more than comfortable enough, even for our 2.5 year old daughter that we had with us.

The fishing session commenced after short briefing by the guide – mainly on how to handle the rod, replacing baits, and the appropriate fishing depth for smelts. You’ll certainly get the opportunity to try putting on live worm baits yourselves during the 2 hour session. It was a productive session alright – we had 4 adults in total and together, we must have caught more than 30 smelts! The guide would fry them on the spot towards the end of the session. Add a dash of salt, and they are a delicacy. Nothing quite beats a hot tempura on a cold morning!

Overall, an awesome experience that we would thoroughly recommend!

They were very kind! とても親切でした!

Reviewed by: みみみ

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。

Nature is unpredictable. 自然はキマグレ

Reviewed by: 第十

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。

You can see wild owls. 野生のフクロウが見れます

Reviewed by: ズクちゃん

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。

Thank you, Sugu-chan, for participating in the tour the other day. I am delighted that you enjoyed it; it truly makes being a guide worthwhile. In the Sapporo area, there are still forests where rare animals live. The Ezo owl is one of them, and it’s quite soothing, isn’t it? Additionally, different fields offer different ways to enjoy the experience, so please join us again. I look forward to our reunion. Thank you for sharing your experience.

スグちゃんさん、先日はツアーに参加くださいましてありがとうございました。喜んで頂いてガイド冥利に尽きます。札幌近郊には希少動物も棲息する森が残されています。エゾフクロウもその一つで、癒されますよね。また、フィールドが違えば楽しみ方も違って来ますので、ぜひまたご参加ください。再会を楽しみにお待ちしています。体験談ありがとうございました。

Fun wakasagi fishing

Reviewed by: Piyomo

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.

Wakasagi fishing was fun! ワカサギ釣り★楽しかった~

Reviewed by: ぴよも

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。
