[Rausu Drift Ice Cruise]
Cruise along the drift ice looking for birds and animals. Rausu Town is
located on the eastern side of the Shiretoko Peninsula, the northeastern tip
of Hokkaido, and is the final destination for drift ice, so you can see more
drift ice than in other places. There is a high chance of encountering
Steller's sea eagles and white-tailed eagles gathering on the ice.
[Abashiri Drift Ice Icebreaker Aurora]
You can see the spectacular sight of the ship breaking through the drift ice
that has come down from the north to the south with its weight. You may also
encounter wild animals that arrive with the drift ice.
[Notsuke Peninsula Ice Horizon Mini Walk & Trick Art Experience]
Notsuke Bay on the Notsuke Peninsula freezes over in the harsh winter,
creating a vast, flat plain of ice. You can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view
of the ice and a trick art experience on the vast ice plain on the "Ice
Horizon Mini Walk" on the frozen Notsuke Bay.
