about Custommade
A trip to Lake Akan never goes exactly as planned.
That’s what makes it worthwhile.
Frost flowers do not always appear. Wildlife does not show itself according to human convenience. Weather, light, wind, and sound are also experiences that can only be encountered at that specific moment in time. The journey to Lake Akan holds more value in the time spent facing nature, waiting, and feeling, rather than in "guaranteed experiences." Therefore, we prioritize a custom-made approach that is designed to suit the moment, the individual, and their sensibilities, rather than a pre-determined itinerary.


example
Aren't you searching for a journey like this somewhere in your heart?
A journey that is not just about visiting predetermined places at set times, but rather a time to immerse oneself in the air, scents, and sounds of the land. A desire to not only "see" nature and culture but to quietly confront them and deeply feel their essence. A wish to cherish fleeting moments of light, conversations with others, and emotions that linger in the heart, rather than merely capturing them in photographs. Envisioning a journey that connects like a story, starting from Lake Akan to the port towns of Kushiro and Akkeshi, and onto the nights in Kitami. A longing to spend "meaningful time" that goes beyond mere enjoyment during anniversaries and significant milestones in life. If anything resonates with your heart, this custom-made journey is undoubtedly an entrance prepared just for you.
