The Lake Shikotsu Festival is a summer festival held at Lake Shikotsu in Chitose, Hokkaido. Lake Shikotsu is known as one of the most transparent and beautiful lakes in Japan, and this festival features many events that make use of the lake's beauty. It is held every year around the end of June, and various events are held, such as fireworks on the lake, stage shows, and live music. In addition, many stalls are set up along the lakeside, where you can enjoy local gourmet food and souvenirs. You can also try salt-grilled tip (hikanemasu), a specialty of Lake Shikotsu. The Lake Shikotsu Festival is popular with both local residents and many tourists, and is known as one of Hokkaido's representative summer events.
The Hyoto Festival is a fantastical event where ice sculptures of various sizes, made by blowing water from Lake Shikotsu and freezing it, are lit up. By the way, the word "hyoto" is pronounced "hyoto". It is a popular event that attracts many Hokkaido residents every year. If you try to go at the time when the sculptures are lit up, there will often be traffic jams in the area, so make sure you leave plenty of time. The festival is held from 10:00 to 20:00 on weekdays and holidays. The illuminations are from 16:30 to 20:00. The Hyoto Festival, a major winter event held every year at Lake Shikotsu Onsen in Chitose City, is easily accessible from Sapporo, so it is a popular event with tourists from both inside and outside Hokkaido.
This is a large-scale event that attracts around 200,000 visitors every year, and is bustling with couples and families.
The Ice Festival is an event where ice sculptures of all sizes are lined up, created by spraying water from Lake Shikotsu, making you feel as if you are touring an ice town. Not only are the pale blue ice sculptures beautiful, but at night they are lit up in various colors, creating a fantastic atmosphere. The busiest time is of course at night, but what is less known is that the Shikotsu ice sculptures are also beautiful during the day.
The Great Buddha was there from the beginning, but the Great Buddha Hall was designed by Tadao Ando as a project to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the opening of Makomanai Takino Cemetery. From the outside, only the head of the Great Buddha can be seen in the center of the round hill, which is why it was named "Head Buddha" (Head Buddha). You can enjoy different views at Head Buddha no matter when you visit, spring, summer, autumn, or winter, but the best season to visit is from late July to early August, when the lavender is in full bloom. Lavender is planted in a spiral pattern on the entire hill surrounding Head Buddha, and in summer it forms a magnificent purple swirl. A stroll surrounded by the mellow scent will be a scene that will stay in your mind forever.
