Early morning tour of Lake Akan in winter:Untouched Hokkaido/冬の阿寒湖早朝散歩

Take an early morning tour through the snowy scenery around Lake Akan
In winter, you can explore a freezing natural environment where it is not uncommon for early morning temperatures to reach -20°C. The winter chill creates magical natural beauty. You can walk across the completely frozen Akan lake to its island in around 10 minutes. You can also see the sunrise over Mt. Oakan and beautiful natural phenomena such as frost flowers, rime and diamond dust. The tour meets at 6:20, early mornings from late January to mid-March.
In summer, this island can only be reached by boat.
Untouched Hokkaido
Eastern Hokkaido has a history and geography all of its own. Despite its location in Japan, it is actually on the North American tectonic plate, and as a result it is full of extremely rare plant life. Eastern Hokkaido locals have coexisted for generations with the area's rare wildlife and the nature in the national parks that those animals call home, and as a result there are many natural areas that are untouched by human hands.
