[Hokkaido] Drift Ice and Shiretoko Winter 1-Day Experience
- What to expect
-
Discover the true essence of winter in Shiretoko with two of the region’s most iconic winter activities. The day typically begins with a **winter guided walk at Shiretoko Five Lakes, a winter area open only to visitors accompanied by a certified guide**, where you will walk through snow-covered forests and frozen lakes while learning about the area’s unique winter ecosystem. Later, enjoy a **drift ice experience along the Sea of Okhotsk**, wearing specialized dry suits and accompanied by experienced guides. (Depending on weather and ice conditions, the experience may take place as a guided coastal walk rather than walking directly on the drift ice.) Please note that the order of activities may change depending on weather and field conditions.
