be complete without savouring the Japa-
nese customs and lifestyle. Pay a visit to
the popular Shikaribetsu-Kotan which is
a lake frozen over in winter with an Igloo
village built on it. It is definitely a great
way to experience winter by learning ice
glass making, snowmobiling, walking
around the forest and sleeping overnight
in a sleeping bag in the Ice Lodge. After
a whole day of skiing and freezing in the
cold weather, perhaps it is time to indulge
in a soak in a natural hot spring bath at the
Kuttari Onsen. Kuttari Onsen is a natural
