Art created by ice and snow, exclusive to the morning.
Akan Lake Ice Art and Ice Trekking
The natural beauty shaped on the frozen surface of the lake. With each step taken during the trek, one encounters the art created by the ice and experiences the miracles that only Lake Akan reveals in winter.
The caldera lakes in Eastern Hokkaido freeze one after another in winter, showcasing a completely different appearance compared to summer. Lake Akan is one of them. The lake, covered in a blanket of ice, transforms into a vast canvas created by nature, serving as a stage for winter-only activities.
The allure of ice trekking lies in the opportunity to encounter the ever-changing ICE ART landscapes each morning. The artistic patterns that appear only when the morning sun illuminates the ice can reveal frost flowers and rime ice if luck is on your side.
The tour is sprinkled with surprises. After the experience of walking on the ice, there are activities unique to winter mornings, along with a warm café time to relax and warm up.
It is a journey to discover the art that can only be found on the ice and the fleeting miracles displayed by Lake Akan in winter. This is a story of a once-in-a-lifetime encounter prepared by nature.
