Start from central Sapporo at 8:00 am for beginner-friendly smelt fishing, winter clothing and rod rentals, and a shared Jingisukan lunch in a small hut. Finish with shopping at Royce’ Cacao & Chocolate Town before returning to Sapporo Station.
“We sat together in a small hut fishing. Then we grilled the fish and ate it together. Everyone gathered around the fireplace, chatting and singing. It was a wonderful experience; you definitely have to come here in winter.”

Spend about two hours fishing for wakasagi through thick Lake Abashiri ice. Your guide supplies the tent and gear, helps beginners, and fries your catch as tempura. Pickup, hot drinks, snacks, and transport are included, but the tents have no heating.
