When coming to Hokkaido, you’ll almost certainly be arriving to New Chitose Airport.
If that’s the plan – there is a must see destination you should visit before anything else – Lake Shikotsu.
Located within an hour from the airport and having good transport access this lake will offer you stunning scenery, variety of great hot springs and spa, and a bunch of things to do. There is everything you need, no matter if you come with your family, friends, loved one or by yourself.
If you happen to be around in winter – Shikotsuko Hyoto Matsuri (Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival) is where you must go! Put on some more layers and enjoy watching and interacting with ice statues beautifully lit up at night.
