スタイリッシュなワカサギ釣り「Chill ICE Fishing」完全手ぶら!ブランケットや肘掛長椅子で快適<1~3月/長靴・防寒ズボン付/札幌市内中心部送迎>

It was the most fun during my 3-night, 4-day trip! 3泊4日の旅の中で1番楽しかったです!

Reviewed by: ししまる

The ice fishing for wakasagi was absolutely the best part of my 2-night, 3-day trip!

The guide was incredibly kind and friendly, sharing interesting facts about Hokkaido on the way from Sapporo Station to the fishing spot, and we arrived in no time.

The local staff were also very helpful, allowing us to experience drilling holes for the wakasagi fishing.

Thanks to the guide's precise instructions, I was really happy when I caught two wakasagi at once after initially not catching anything!

The café au lait served in a Nordic wooden cup and the crispy, freshly fried wakasagi were truly delicious…! I’m so grateful; words can't fully express how wonderful this experience was!

2泊3日の旅で断トツこのワカサギ釣りが最高でした!

ガイドのお父さんがまず親切で優しく、札幌駅から釣り場に行くまで、北海道の雑学も織り交ぜて下さってあっという間に現地に到着

現地スタッフの方も手間を惜しまず、ワカサギ釣りの穴あけ体験までさせて下さいました。

お父さんのレクチャーが的確だったので、最初は釣れなかったワカサギが一回で2匹かかった時は本当に嬉しかった!

お父さんの入れて下さった北欧の木のカップで頂いたカフェオレも、サクサクの揚げたてワカサギも本当に美味しかった…!感謝です、もはや文章でこの尊さは書ききれません!

Smelt fishing ワカサギ釣り

Reviewed by: かおかお

It was my first time ice fishing for wakasagi, but they kindly taught me, and if you don't give up and get the timing and techniques right, you can catch them. At first, I didn't catch anything at all, but in the last 30 minutes, I caught five. The wakasagi I caught was made into tempura right there, and it was delicious. I also enjoyed the steak for lunch. Was I the only one who thought the salad dressing was delicious...? It's really cold, so you can't overdo it on the warm clothing. I want to go again.

ワカサギ釣りは初めてでしたが親切に教えていただき、諦めずにタイミングとコツをつかめば釣れます。最初は全然釣れなかったのに残り30分で5匹。釣ったワカサギはその場で天ぷらにして食べます。これもまた美味でした。昼食のステーキも美味しくいただきました。サラダのドレッシングが美味しいと感じたのは私だけでしょうか…
本当に寒いので防寒にやり過ぎはないくらいです。また行きたいです。

ワカサギ釣り 北海道育ちの経験豊富なガイドがしっかりサポート 釣った魚をそのまま天ぷらで試食!<1~3月/長靴・防寒ズボン付/学割あり/札幌市内中心部送迎>

Participated with friends. 友達と参加

Reviewed by: ふーちゃん

I caught over 10 fish, but my friends and other groups only caught 2 or 3, which was a bit disappointing. The lecture is thorough, so even beginners in fishing will have no problem. For those who are not comfortable with insects, I think you can manage the baiting, but it's a good idea to bring something to wipe your hands. The tempura they fry on-site is delicious, but it's only available once towards the end, so any fish caught afterward will need to be released. It might be because the fishing location changed, but we ended up finishing about 40 to 50 minutes later than scheduled, which caused some of our plans to be canceled. I think it's better to make reservations with some extra time in mind.

自分は10匹以上釣れましたが、友達や他のグループの方は2,3匹しか釣れておらず、少し残念な結果になってしまいました。
レクチャーは丁寧なので、釣り初心者でも問題ないです。
虫などが苦手な人でも餌付けはなんとかできるとは思いますが、手を拭くものを用意しておくと良いと思います。
その場で揚げてくれる天ぷらは美味しいですが、終盤の一度だけなので、その後に釣った分はリリースになります。
釣り場所が変更になったためか、予定時間を40〜50分ほどオーバーしての終了だったので、その後の予定が少しキャンセルになりました。
予定に余裕を持って予約された方がいいかと思います。

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 was able to enjoy an extraordinary experience without any burdens while traveling with children. 子連れ、手ぶらで非日常を楽しめました。

Reviewed by: もうりにょ

Since my stay was short, I looked for something simple that I could join without any gear and signed up. After gathering at Sapporo Station, we boarded a bus and after a short ride, we saw colorful tents lined up over a river covered in snow.

We borrowed waterproof pants and other gear in a room at the base store and headed out for whitebait fishing. With the help of a veteran instructor and friendly staff, my children, aged 5 and 9, were able to experience catching fish on their own. While support was needed until they got used to handling the equipment, the staff quickly came around to assist the kids, allowing the adults to enjoy their own fishing experience as well. We had fun competing in fishing as a family.

The tempura isn’t something that fills you up, but the freshly fried whitebait eaten on the ice and snow became a memorable experience. After finishing, lunch was prepared at the store, and we were taken back to the station. It was a half-day course, but it felt just right since we had another plan right after in the afternoon.

短い滞在期間だったので、できるだけ簡単に手ぶらで参加できるものを探して申し込みました。
札幌駅で集合後、バスに乗り込み少し走ると雪に覆われ真っ白な川の上にカラフルなテントが並んでいます。
拠点となる店舗の一室で防水ズボンなどを借り、ワカサギ釣りへ。
ベテランインストラクターや優しいスタッフの方に教えてもらいながら、5歳, 9歳の子どもたちも自分で釣り上げる体験ができました。道具の扱いに慣れるまでサポートは必要ですが、すぐにスタッフの方が巡回してくれて子供の対応をしてもらえたので、大人も自分の釣り体験を楽しむことができました。
家族でつり競争をしながら楽しみました。

天ぷらはお腹が膨れるようなものではないですが、氷と雪の上で食べる揚げたてのワカサギは思い出になりました。
終了後は店舗でランチが用意されていて、食事をして駅まで送ってもらえます。
半日コースでしたが、午後からすぐ別の予定に迎えるのでちょうどよく感じました。

I thought ice fishing for wakasagi was a must on my first trip to Hokkaido, so I signed up for the tour. I was a bit anxious about participating, but thanks to Jiro's gentle demeanor and his consideration for young children, I was able to relax and enjoy myself! I'm grateful for that ^^ If I go ice fishing for wakasagi again next time, I would love to join again. *We caught a lot of wakasagi! Thank you very much!

初の北海道旅行でワカサギ釣りはマストと思い、申し込みました

Barato River Ice Smelt Fishing Tour with Lunch Buffet from Sapporo

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!

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。

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!

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。

We were picked up at the hotel on time and departed by van. After picking up another group along the way, we arrived in about an hour from Sapporo! Inside the tent, there was a stove and it wasn't too cold since the wind couldn't get in. I had reserved rubber boots and warm clothing, but I was fine with what I wore and my snow boots (though the staff didn't offer any rentals…). Since the ice was thick, we couldn't experience drilling a hole. The staff took care of the bait and removing the caught fish. They changed the bait and helped us with various things, but we only caught one Ugui and one Wakasa. I heard that someone in the same tent caught a lot the day before! We caught four Wakasa among the three of us! The tempura was delicious too!! It was a very enjoyable first experience. I would like to go again!!

ホテルに定刻にお迎えしてもらい、バンで出発。途中でもう1組をピックアップして札幌市から1時間くらいで到着!テントの中はストーブがあるし風が入ってこないのでさほど寒くありません。長靴や防寒着など予約していましたが、自分が着込んだ分とスノーブーツで大丈夫でした(スタッフさんから貸出の声かけもありませんでしたが…)氷の厚みがあるということで穴を開ける体験はできませんでした。餌もワカサギの取り外しもスタッフさんがやってくださいます。スタッフさんも餌を変えたり色々してくださいましたがウグイとワカサギ1匹しか釣れず。前日には同じテントでも1人ですごく釣れた方がいたとのことでしたよ!3人でワカサギ4匹でした!天ぷらも美味しかったです!!はじめての経験でとても楽しかったです。また、行きたいと思いました!!

Due to the bad weather leading up to the day, the fishing conditions were quite challenging. However, I was grateful to see that the staff were doing their best to help us catch fish. Although I only managed to catch five fish in a little over an hour, it was a great experience as I got to drill holes myself, bait the hooks, and even enjoy some tempura.

前日までの悪天候によりなかなか釣れない状況でしたが、係の人達が必死に釣らせてくれようとしているのが分かって有り難かったです。1時間あまりで5匹だけしか釣れなかったけど、自分で穴を開けたり、餌つけしたり、天ぷらも食べることができてとても良い経験になりました。

When the weather is nice, the fish don't bite. (-_-;) 天気がいいと釣れない(-_-;)

Reviewed by: 草もち姫

We were picked up at the hotel and enjoyed a comfortable drive to the Shinozutsu Lake, which is created by damming a tributary of the Ishikari River in the suburbs. The inside of the tent was warm and cozy. The weather was nice and pleasant, but unfortunately, I caught nothing, while my friend managed to catch just one. Another group seemed to have caught a few more, but it seems that good weather and bright conditions often make fishing difficult.

Our guide was very considerate, using bait and even the best cheese-fed maggots (laughs), making for a rare and enjoyable experience. In the end, we had expertly fried tempura of the wakasagi, which was exquisite. It seems that even among locals in Sapporo, there aren't many who have tried wakasagi fishing. I highly recommend giving it a try!

ホテルにお迎えに来てくださって快適ドライブで郊外の篠津(しのつ)の石狩川の支流をせき止めて湖にしている篠津湖の「ワカサギ釣り」スポットに行きます。
テント内は暖かく快適です。天気も良くて気持ちがいいのですが残念なことに私はゼロ、お友達が辛うじて一匹だけ釣れました。別のグループはもう少し釣れていたようですが天気が良くて明るいと釣れないことが多いようです。
ガイドさんも気を使って下さって撒き餌をしたり、最高のチーズ食べた蛆虫(笑)まで使って下さったけど滅多にできない経験で楽しかったです。
最後に上手に揚げたワカサギの天ぷらを戴きましたが。これが絶品でした。
地元の(札幌)の知り合いでもワカサギ釣りをしたことがある人はいないようでした。是非やってみたらとお勧めします。

It's disappointing that we didn't catch much... あまり釣れなくて残念。。。

Reviewed by: まうもっと

The fishing facility is a small vinyl house that can accommodate about 4 to 6 people. There is a small portable stove, but since you sit still while fishing, it can get quite cold. I recommend using foot warmers if you feel chilly. The fishing gear consists of a handmade rod and sabiki baited with worms. After about two hours of fishing, we caught 9 fish among four people. The wakasagi are about 6 centimeters long and look like larger medaka, which is quite cute. The guide mentioned that the fish weren't biting well today, and I was disappointed because we didn't catch many. However, the guide caught several, so there must be some tricks to it. The wakasagi we caught were made into tempura, and it was very delicious. It may be obvious, but you can only eat what you catch, so if you don't catch anything, it won't be fun at all. If I were the guide, I would want to catch some in advance and keep them alive so that those who don't catch any could still enjoy about five fish.

I received an email about a change in the pickup time a day before, but I didn't check my emails during the trip, so I only found out after returning and ended up making you wait for 10 minutes. I apologize for that.

釣りの施設は4~6人ほど入れる小さなビニールハウス。小さな簡易ストーブが1つありますがじっと釣りをするのでなかなか寒いです。冷える方は靴用のカイロをおすすめします。道具は手作り感満載の竿に餌に虫をつけたサビキです。釣果は約2時間釣りをして4人で9匹。ワカサギって6センチ位でメダカを大きくしたやつって感じでかわいい。ガイドさんが今日は食いつきが悪いとおっしゃってましたが釣れなさすぎてがっかりしました。でもガイドさんは何匹も釣っていたのでコツがあるんでしょうね。釣れたワカサギは天ぷらにしてくれてとてもおいしかったです。当たり前かもしれませんが釣った分しか食べられないので釣れなかったら何も面白くないです。私がガイドなら前もって釣って生かしておいて釣れない人にも5匹位は食べられるようにしてあげたいなと思いました。
1日前にピックアップ時間の変更のメールが届いていたのですが旅行中にメールのチェックをしていなかったので帰ってから知り10分お待たせしてしまい申し訳ありませんでした。

As for the whitebait fishing, I think it varies by day, but we caught quite a few, around 10 to 20 fish. The guide was friendly and it was a lot of fun.

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 caught a lot! 沢山釣れたぁ

Reviewed by: BVK

I used to think there wasn't much to do in Hokkaido during winter, but I was recommended by Mr. Tamura from Bon Voyage Kobe, and it turned out to be quite an interesting experience. I recommend it to everyone.

冬場の北海道 ってすることないなぁ って思ってましたが ボンヴォヤージュ神戸の田村さんに勧められて・・・なかなか面白い体験でした 皆様にもお勧めします。

I had wanted to try wakasagi fishing for a long time. The guide was also chatty, which was nice. There are only two days left in the season, so I'm glad I made it just in time. It wasn't too cold inside the tent.

ずっと前からやってみたかったワカサギ釣りでした。
ガイドさんもお話し好きで良かったです。
あと2日で今シーズン終了でしたがギリギリ間に合って良かったです。
テントの中なのでそれほど寒くはありませんでした。

I miraculously participated in the season's last tour!! シーズンラストのツアーに奇跡的に参加!!

Reviewed by: イチオ

I participated in a wakasagi fishing tour. This season has been unusually warm, leading to an early snowmelt, and this day (March 11) was the last tour. (I heard that all tours after this were canceled.)

Due to the snowmelt, we went upstream for wakasagi fishing.

The guide for the wakasagi fishing seemed to stay on-site throughout the season. He was very kind and provided assistance with baiting and advice. As a result, I only caught one fish, but it was a fun tour.

Also, personally, I'm not good with insects, so I struggled with baiting (laughs).

ワカサギツアーに参加してきました。今期は暖冬で雪解けが早く、この日(3月11日)がラストでした。(それ以降はキャンセルになったそうです。)
雪解けが進んだため、上流まで行ってのワカサギ釣りでした。

ワカサギ釣りのガイドさんはシーズン中は現地に泊まりこんでいるみたいです。
とても優しく餌付けやアドバイスをしてくださりました。
結果、ガイドさんの協力で1匹しかつれなかったけど楽しいツアーでした。

あと、個人的に虫が苦手なので、餌付けは苦手でした(笑)

Got the wakasagi!! ワカサギ ゲット!!

Reviewed by: だいともママ

I learned how to fish from the guide and caught a lot! It was amazing to enjoy the fried smelt on the ice. I was able to borrow cold-resistant pants, so I was able to withstand the cold. I definitely want to go again!

ガイドさんに釣り方を教えてもらって、たくさん釣れました^_^釣ったワカサギを天ぷらにして氷上で味わうのは最高でした〜。防寒ズボンが借りられたので、寒さもしのげました^_^
また、行きたいと思います^_^

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>

It became a good memory. 良い思い出になりました

Reviewed by: ぷーさん

The instructors provided careful guidance even for beginners, and they went above and beyond by changing the bait when the fish weren't biting and even switching out the rods. Thanks to their support, I was able to fish to my heart's content.

In the end, they prepared the fish right there, and it was incredibly delicious!!

Although it's unrelated to fishing, the scenery around the fishing spot was also very beautiful.

初心者でも丁寧に指導して下さり、しかも釣れないと仕掛けのえさ変えてくれたり、竿を変えていただいたりと至れり尽くせりでした。
そのお陰で満足するまで釣ることができました。

最後は魚はその場であげて下さり、最高に美味しかったです!!

釣りとは関係ないですが釣り場の周りの景色もとてもよかったです。

Smelt fishing ワカサギ釣り

Reviewed by: 小杉 清華

Graduation trip from Okinawa to Hokkaido! The main event of the trip was ice fishing for wakasagi (^ ^). This was my first time trying wakasagi fishing! Although it was a short time, we were fortunate to have great conditions and managed to catch over 20 wakasagi between the two of us!!!\(^o^)/ The feeling of them nibbling at the bait was irresistible! We had them cooked right away and then it was time to eat!! Of course, they were incredibly delicious! I definitely want to do it again!! This wakasagi tour included transportation and they even lent us rubber boots, which was very helpful. The instructor was also a great person, and we had a lot of fun fishing for wakasagi (^ ^).

沖縄から北海道へ卒業旅行!旅行のメインイベントであるワカサギ釣り(^ ^)今回初めてワカサギ釣りに挑戦しました!短い時間でしたが、ワカサギが釣れるとゆういいコンディションにも恵まれ2人で20匹以上のワカサギを釣ることができました!!!\(^o^)/ちょんちょんと餌をつついてくる感じがたまらなかったです!すぐに調理をしてもらっていざ、実食!!もちろん、最高に美味しかったです!是非またやりたい!!今回のワカサギツアーは送迎もついていて、長靴も貸してもらい助かりました。インストラクターの方もいい方で楽しくワカサギ釣りができました(^ ^)

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!!!
