Plan description

An experience you can only have here! Put on a dry suit and walk on the drift ice! Drift ice comes ashore on the coast of Okhotsk from late January. At its peak, the coast of Utoro is covered with pure white drift ice, creating a scene that you won't find anywhere else in Japan. Wear a special dry suit and walk on and touch the drift ice. A guide will support you, so even if it's your first time experiencing drift ice, you can feel at ease! ☆Tour times (held four times a day) 6:30-8:00 9:30-11:00 13:00-14:30 15:30-17:00 ☆Schedule for the day (Example → 9:30 start course) ☆ Around 9:15 [Pick-up] We will go around each hotel 15 minutes before the start of the tour to pick you up. Around 9:30 [Lecture] Once all the customers have gathered, we will start the lecture on putting on a dry suit. Around 9:50 [Departure] Once everyone has changed clothes and finished getting ready, it's time to depart! Let's immerse ourselves in the world of drift ice in our own way♪ Around 10:40 [Going ashore] The fun time is fleeting. It's a little sad to leave, but we go ashore and get changed. Around 11:00 [Pick-up] We'll send you off to your accommodation and the tour will end. Thank you for your hard work! *The schedule is a guideline.

Wear a dry suit!

You can't go up on the drift ice without wearing a dry suit. You will wear a dry suit prepared by Shinra. It's very warm because you wear it over your clothes, and it's waterproof so you don't get wet. Our drysuits are colorful! If you take a picture on the pure white drift ice field, it will be very photogenic. (color cannot be selected)

Experience only here in Japan!

"Shiretoko Utoro" is the only tour in Japan where you can walk on drift ice with your own feet! The drift ice field that stretches all the way to the horizon is like walking on the surface of the moon. It varies from large drift ice to small drift ice. Please find your favorite one.

Infinite ways to enjoy!

There are many ways to enjoy drift ice walking depending on the conditions of the day. You can take photos. You can touch the drift ice. It's also fun to look for sea angels! Enjoy it freely and safely in your own way!

プランの魅力 Drift ice as far as the eye can see! の画像

Drift ice as far as the eye can see! At its peak, the coast of Utoro is covered with drift ice. The horizon is so close that you wonder if you can walk on drift ice and go anywhere.

Take pictures and have fun! Try sitting on the drift ice or lying down. Please leave a nice photo of fun memories. *Please be careful not to submerge the camera.

Try floating ♪ Even if you go into the ocean, you'll always float thanks to your dry suit!

Luxurious time... From 15:15, if the conditions such as weather and time are right, you can walk while watching the sunset. The drift ice and the sky glow orange, which is very fantastic.
