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!!!

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！
友人共々大満足の旅行になりました！

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。

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。

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。

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!

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。

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.

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。
