Ice Art in a Lake: Lake Akan's Ice Bubbles (Kushiro City) & More [Hokkaido Mirai Note (81)]
Lake Akan's Ice Bubbles (Kushiro City)
The ice bubbles of Lake Akan.
This sight can only be seen for a short period after the lake freezes and before snow covers the surface.
I want to go see it again next year.

A note from the Domingo editorial team
This winter lake phenomenon looks like something from outer space! It's created when bubbles rising from the lakebed get trapped in the frozen surface. 🧊
Once it snows, they get buried and can no longer be seen, so this phenomenon is only visible for a very limited time, even in winter!
Keep it in mind for next year! 💡
White Illumination and the Streetcar (Sapporo City)
The White Illumination along the zelkova tree-lined street that stretches from the Susukino intersection to Sapporo Station.
The combination with the streetcar is so beautiful, and seeing it makes me feel that winter in Sapporo has truly begun.

The Sapporo White Illumination is a winter event held in the heart of Sapporo City.
Various illuminations magically light up the Sapporo night. 🌌
The combination with the streetcar is fantastic, of course, but watching the cityscape flow by from inside the streetcar is also beautiful!
The Sapporo White Illumination is running until today at some venues. ✨
Setting Sun and Ezo Deer (Betsukai Town)
Ezo deer walking across the frozen, frigid Notsuke Bay.
Today, another magnificent sun sets.

A note from the Domingo editorial team
Notsuke Bay is a resting place for animals like migratory birds and seals.
This past February, it also became the venue for Japan's first-ever Ice Marathon. 🏃
This photo, unique to the nature-rich Betsukai Town, truly captures the essence of Hokkaido. 📷
