Highlights
You will visit the Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival in the evening, where the pure white ice formations glow in a variety of colors and create a magical atmosphere.
This is a limited-time course that operates during the Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival, an event held along the lakeside of Lake Shikotsu. The ice sculptures are made using the highly transparent lake water, and the many works of ice art illuminated in different colors create scenery that feels both fantastic and mystical.
※Admission to the Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival is not included in this course. Please pay individually.
(Adults 1,000 yen, children of elementary school age and younger are free.)
