    One of our favourite local festivals, we love Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival, which sees a variety of natural sculptures created by the local people. Ice caverns, ice buildings and a variety of beautiful exhibitions to explore - all created with water from the neighbouring lake, sprayed, scultped and frozen by local community members. Our night tour means you get to experience this amazing atmosphere in the evening illuminations, where things look especially magical.
