2026 Chitose - Shikotsu Lake Ice Festival ~Ice Museum~

Hokkaido's representative winter festival
Various ice objects of different sizes, frozen using sprinklers with the lake water of Shikotsu Lake, are lined up. During the day, they shine in Shikotsu Lake Blue, and at night, they are illuminated by colorful lights, creating a fantastical world! With the concept of an "Ice Museum," we present a display that allows enjoyment of beauty through simple ice sculptures. *There will be no fireworks display. There will be no sales stalls within the venue.
