Each winter, ice sculptures of all shapes and sizes appear along the shores of Lake Shikotsu. Made from the lake’s exceptionally clear water, they are works of art shaped by nature. Arrive in the early evening to experience the magic of Hokkaido in winter with all your senses, from the fantastical sculptures illuminated in vibrant colors to the crystal-clear air in the subzero cold.
