I visited Hokkaido Avant in Kutcharo, Shintoku Town. Sauna enthusiasts who had come from Tokyo, Kyoto, and Oita, including members of the Sauna Research Group from Tokyo, took turns cooling down after their saunas by plunging into a hole cut in the frozen lake. Shouts that sounded like cheers or excitement echoed across the quiet lake.
After cooling down, they enjoyed a peaceful time on an ice carousel.
