Reaching a depth of 360 meters, it is the second deepest lake in Japan, resulting in a rapid current. Even in the harsh winter, the lake hardly freezes, making it Japan's northernmost unfrozen lake. The central area for sightseeing around Lake Shikotsu is the Shikotsu Onsen area, which features onsen hotels, souvenir shops, and restaurants, serving as the main base for exploring the lake. 【Lake Shikotsu Ice Wave Festival】 Every year from late January to mid-February, Lake Shikotsu hosts a grand event called the "Chitose-Shikotsu Lake Ice Wave Festival," showcasing ice sculptures made from the clear, pristine waters of the lake. These ice sculptures are created by spraying the lake water with high-pressure water jets, causing it to freeze. During the day, the ice sculptures have a crystal-clear appearance and radiate a natural blue hue under the sunlight, which locals call "Shikotsu Blue." Takino Suzuran Park Experience thrilling tobogganing and snowshoeing while enjoying stunning snowscapes! This place boasts Japan's largest toboggan run, where you can slide vertically 200 meters from the top, and snowshoeing through the forest.
