❄️A Must - Visit in Hokkaido in Winter: Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival ❄️The Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival in 2025 has been officially scheduled! Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival 🌿✨【Period】February 1st (Sat) - February 24th (Mon & Holiday), 2025 【Opening Hours】10:00 - 20:00 【Light - Up Time】16:30 - 20:00 🌿✨ 【Venue】Lake Shikotsu Onsen, Chitose, Hokkaido 【Admission】1,000 yen for middle school students and above (free for elementary school students and below) ⌛️In previous years, it started on the last weekend of January, but this year it begins on February 1st. In February 2024, it was quite warm, and the ice melted, so the festival had to be ended early. 🌿✨ Therefore, it's best to visit in the first half of February this year~ 🌟Must - See Spots at the Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival 🧊Blue Ice Waterfall Cave Castle - Influenced by the blue waters of Lake Shikotsu, the ice and snow here are also blue, known as "Shikotsu Blue." The ice waterfall and ice sculptures are created by spraying water from Lake Shikotsu. 🌿✨ The multi - layered blue ice waterfall cave castle is very spectacular. #Hokkaido 🌟
