Parks Overview Parks Overview

Walk on a lake with one of the highest water quality ratings in Japan

Enjoy a unique Hokkaido experience and go lake ice walking! This activity is only available during the coldest months of the year.
Lake Shikotsu is said to be the northernmost ice-free lake, but even so there are points along its shores where ice forms. Enjoy this unique Hokkaido activity that can only be experienced in middle of winter on a crystal-clear lake. Access is also convenient, and you'll be wearing a dry suit, too, making this activity surprisingly easy to do. Popular with international tourists.
