氷結した湖上でのワカサギ釣り

  • Warm and bright house interior
  • Smelt at Lake Hibara
  • Frozen Lake Hibara is a mecca for smelt fishing

When Lake Hibara, which stretches out in front of Urabandai Lake Resort, freezes over, the winter tradition of "smelt fishing" Urabandai begins.
Smelt fishing, which requires carefully observing the subtle bite (just a slight movement of the rod tip), is a very appealing activity. Our hotel offers two options:"Safe and Secure Smelt Fishing in a Private Room"which can be enjoyed in a warm and bright indoor facility, and"Smelt Fishing No Car Required"which includes snowmobile transportation. It's popular with families, as even young children can enjoy themselves without worrying about disturbing others.

Travelling through a world of silvery white

  • Walking through snowy fields that can only be reached in winter
  • Frozen Waterfall (Yellow Falls)
  • Swans flying to Inawashiro

In winter, Urabandai offers mystical scenery and natural wonders that can only be seen during this season.
The sub-zero temperatures freeze the waterfall, and the quality of the river water flowing through it creates a golden, frozen waterfall known as "Yellow Falls."
In addition, we offer a variety of snow-related activities, including snowshoe tours and exploration programs where you can discover the wonders of snow with your children.
