Notes: Lake Shikotsu (支笏湖) is a stunning caldera lake, formed around 40,000 years ago, located in Chitose, Hokkaido prefecture, within the Shikotsu-Toya National Park (支笏洞爺国立公園). Surrounded by spectacular mountains, the lake is celebrated for its exceptionally clear waters, which remain unfrozen in winter due to its great depth. The highlight of winter is the Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival (支笏湖氷濤まつり), held from January to mid-February, featuring illuminated ice sculptures, fireworks, ice-skating, & traditional performance! An all seasonal attraction - connected to the 千歳川 Chitose River, the area offers abundant opportunities for exploring nature, including hiking, cycling, bird watching, & canoeing/kayaking.
