[This tour is limited to one group per day]
The tour begins at the Ranzan Hotel, located close to New Chitose Airport and surrounded by the Umaoi Hills and trees.
The meeting place is a secluded hotel.
If you wish, we can also pick you up at Maoi no Oka Park Roadside Station, which is close to the hotel.
This is a convenient roadside station where you can get directly to the station via a high-standard road even if you rent a car from New Chitose Airport.
The fishing spot is about a 30-minute drive from the roadside station, and you can enjoy fishing at a pond surrounded by fields.
Although it is called a field, it is a vast snowy plain, so it may be hard to imagine it as a field.
All you have to do is drill a hole in the ice, set up a tent, and then go fishing.
If you can make an attractive lure, you may encounter smelt within minutes.
This is something that cannot be expressed in words, but your guide will be there to support you.
Rather than trying to catch a fish right from the start, the HORTO style is to let you get used to it little by little and feel the challenge of fishing.
If you can get the hang of it and catch a fish in nature, you may feel even more excited.
Lunch will be served in the tent.
The best treats are cup ramen and rice balls bought at the nearest convenience store.
We believe that an important role of tourism is to allow people to experience Hokkaido in an unadulterated way.
Although there is an additional charge, enjoying the locally famous Genghis Khan on ice will be a valuable experience.
Starting around 1:30 PM, you can sample the smelt you caught by frying them, then head to Kitanaganuma Ski Resort, about a 10-minute drive away, for a little fun in the snow.
The polar opposite of a glittering ski resort, this is a streamlined facility for locals to enjoy skiing and snowboarding, but it is precisely this winter playground for Hokkaido residents, where you can enjoy Hokkaido "as is," with nothing added or subtracted.
There is a sledding course, so please enjoy sliding down it to your heart's content.
We also offer snowshoe rentals, so you can enjoy the feeling of soft snow.
If time permits, you can also stop by wineries and sake breweries, and this is a full-day course that will return you to the roadside station at around 16:20 and to Ranzan Hotel at around 16:30.
HORTO Sapporo's programs are designed to take care of your precious time and allow you to enjoy it to the fullest, even if you want to do something that would be difficult to do with a typical activity program.
