Reviews
Our tour at Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival was truly magical and worth every minute! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with free sweet treats, which was such a thoughtful and cozy touch. The ice museum itself was breathtaking. The intricate ice sculptures, glowing blue ice formations, and beautifully illuminated displays made the entire place feel like a winter fairytale. Walking around the venue with the stunning backdrop of Lake Shikotsu made everything even more special. It’s not ideal to visit late in the afternoon because traffic going to the area can get very heavy. The convenience and stress-free experience made a huge difference. Overall, it was an amazing winter experience beautiful scenery, impressive ice art, and well-organized timing. Highly recommended it was a memorable visit! ❄️
The tour leader was very friendly, and the timing was great (sunset and the beginning of the lights turning on, but the sky wasn't dark yet). On the way back, we saw a long traffic jam in the opposite direction from the bus, which made it feel worthwhile. The complimentary cream puffs were delicious too.
They were kind and gave a good explanation of the lake during the ride, which was great. The cream puffs are delicious~!
Our tour guide, Mr. Hiro, was very responsible and shared a lot of information along the way. Thank you.
Friendly guide, great puff ever.
The tour guide was diligent and professional, and the itinerary was on time.
