The most spectacular winter scenery in Hokkaido is the drift ice!

Board an icebreaker that moves dynamically through the mysterious white drift ice. You can enjoy not only the sight but also the five senses, as you can see the drift ice that spreads across the ocean, which cannot be seen from land, the sound of the ice being crushed, and the impact of the ship colliding with the drift ice. *Drift ice may not be visible due to natural phenomena.

A limited-time activity. See, touch, and play with drift ice!
Not only can you walk on the drift ice, but you can also put on a dry suit, lie down on the drift ice, or enter the sea and float with the drift ice for a special experience! It is warm and buoyant, so even people who can't swim can enjoy it. If you're lucky, you might be able to see seals on the drift ice, Steller's sea eagles in the sky, and sea angels in the sea.
*For safety reasons, people over 75 years old and people under 130cm tall are not allowed to enter.
