1 day plan for winter stay in lake Akan
#4 Winter night walk in a onsen town
Lake Akan has finally begun to freeze from the edges, and is now entering its bitterly cold season.
As the new year begins, we are now surrounded by a world of silver and radiance.
When you take a deep breathe, you feel like your nose freezes. The number of days where the temperature drops below -10 degrees has increased.
Please come and experience the scenery of Lake Akan, which becomes more beautiful the colder it gets.
We would like to introduce how to spend a day at Lake Akan during this time of the year.
We will share ideas to fully enjoy your stay at Akanko Onsen Town, arranged for one day.

▼The shopping street at night also has a great atmosphere!
At night, the shopping street is lit up with orange lights, illuminating the wooden carvings and creating a warm atmosphere even when the temperature is low.
Enjoy an evening stroll while browsing the souvenirs in the shopping street where steam rises from the sidewalk, which make a special scenary for onsen town.
Don't forget to dress warmly and wear non-slip shoes!
