Lake Abashiri and Lake Memanbetsu, where you can catch smelt on the ice in winter

Lake Abashiri is a lake that spans Abashiri City and Ozora Town, but this is the view from the Memanbetsu side. This view was selected as one of the "100 Best Landscapes of Hokkaido." There is a campground and campground on the shore of Memanbetsu Lake, so you can use it for camping and barbecues. In winter, it is famous as a lake covered in ice where you can go "ice fishing for smelt"! You can rent fishing rods and other equipment, so it's a place you'll want to visit at least once in winter. The shore of Memanbetsu Lake is right in front of JR Memanbetsu Station, so you can use public transportation from the Abashiri and Kitami directions to get there. You can enjoy the scenery and charm of Hokkaido while taking a leisurely stroll along the quiet lakeside 😊#Memanbetsu #LakeAbashiri #LakeMemanbetsu #SmeltFishing #Hokkaido #HokkaidoTrip #Hokkaido100BestLandscapesOfHokkaido #Travel #GW2022jp
