Enjoy magical winter Hokkaido at Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival. Every year, Lake Shikotsu creates the most stunning local festival using sprayed water from the lake itself. There is fun for all the family, including ice sculptures, ice buildings, outdoor displays, and evening illuminations. If you make the trip on the weekends, then there are also fireworks to enjoy.
When you are in the main JR Train Station, please use the North Exit on the East ticket gate side. You will then see then see a Doutor Coffee next to this exit, with the charter bus carpark and bus stops beyond, and our guide will be waiting with a Travel Hokkaido sign.
Our guide will meet you at this convenient city centre location. We can provide drops to Sapporo, Odori or Susukino Station.
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.
