Plan description

In the harsh winter, the sea of Shiretoko is covered with ice. You can walk on the ice wearing dry suits that are excellent at keeping you warm and waterproof. Drift ice is essential for the creatures living in Shiretoko. One step on the ice and you are in the world of wild animals. By putting on a special suit, you can step into the world of creatures that live with the ice. Drift ice walk is an activity that can only be experienced in the Utoro area of the Shiretoko Peninsula for only one and a half months. Why not experience the lives of creatures woven by the drift ice? You will surely be captivated by the sights you never imagined before participating.
