The key to enjoying a Lake Shikaribetsu sightseeing boat is to experience the different charms depending on the season you visit. In spring, the fresh green leaves are beautiful, and wild flowers blooming on the lakeside add color to the scenery. The time spent on the boat surrounded by the cool breeze in the warm sunlight is special. You can learn about the rich ecosystem of Lake Shikaribetsu while listening to the guide talk about the formation of the lake and the surrounding flora and fauna. In summer, many tourists visit in search of coolness. Because the water temperature of the lake is low, the lake is surprisingly cool. On sunny days, the blue sky and the lake surface are one, creating a spectacular view, and a pleasant breeze blows through. It is perfect not only for tourists, but also for those who want to relax and feel nature. In autumn, the autumn leaves unique to Hokkaido vividly color the lakeside. The view of the autumn leaves from the sightseeing boat is spectacular, and it is a season where many photography enthusiasts visit. When viewed from the boat, the gradation of the autumn leaves is reflected on the lake surface, making the entire lake appear to shine red and yellow. In winter, Lake Shikaribetsu is covered in snow and ice, creating the most tranquil and mysterious scenery of the year. During this time, sightseeing boats may be partially restricted, but it is a valuable experience that allows you to feel the charm of Lake Shikaribetsu in winter. Seeing the frozen lake up close allows you to feel the power of nature in Hokkaido's harsh winter.
