Even beginners can feel at ease! Once you get the hang of it, you'll be catching fish like crazy...

We have a heated hut so even those who don't like the cold can relax. It's also very popular with women and children.

The smelt you catch will be fried on the spot! It's delicious!

Tour Highlights

  • One of the seasonal winter events!
  • All fishing equipment is provided, so you can come empty-handed.
  • The smelt you catch can be fried on the spot – it’s delicious
Join this ice-fishing tour with perfect protection against the cold! If it’s your first time in the freezing cold of Hokkaido, you may be worried about whether it’s okay if the weather is bad, whether you have small children, or what clothes you should wear. Don’t worry! Our fishing-loving guide built a special hut instead of a tent, and it’s fully heated. You can take off your shoes and enjoy fishing at your leisure.
 
To increase your catch…
We use specially selected fishing tips so that it is easy to tell when a fish is biting, and we also perform daily maintenance on our reels. We make our own tackle! We use a fish finder to find the best spots, so it’s easy to catch a fish!
 
We provide delicious tempura!
You can try the tempura made from the smelt you caught. Smelt, which are in season in winter, are sweet, crispy and delicious. If you don’t catch any, we will provide you with a few smelts that the guide caught in advance!

  • Very fun experience

    We are a family of 4 and we had a great time. They picked us up from Shin Furano Prince Hotel and the guide was very good. We caught more than 50 fish together and had delicious fish tempura. I would recommend it to my friends.
