2024 Abashiri Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)

Stop saying you're tired of Hokkaido! There are so many things to do in Eastern Hokkaido!

Eastern Hokkaido is the essence of Hokkaido tourism. The roads are bad and public transportation is inconvenient in winter, but this means that the beautiful scenery is preserved due to the lack of tourists. It gets dark in Hokkaido at around 4 pm, so keep this in mind when planning your itinerary. I like natural scenery and cultural attractions, so if you're tired of the classic routes, don't miss the advanced routes in Hokkaido from February to March. Hoshino Resorts: Hoshino TOMAMU Resort is the largest ski resort in Hokkaido. The powder snow is picturesque, and the 20+ ski runs will satisfy your skiing dreams. There are also exciting snow activities to enjoy the charm of ice and snow. Shiretoko Hiking: Walk on the Shiretoko Peninsula and admire the magnificent drift ice. The Shiretoko Five Lakes or drift ice walks are both fascinating. Cross the snow to find traces of animals, and you may encounter foxes or deer, leaving unforgettable memories of nature. Abashiri Icebreaker: Don't miss the winter-only Abashiri icebreaker tour. Feel the shock of nature in the icy sea, and you may encounter manatees, seals, and more, adding a mysterious touch to your journey. Sapporo White Illumination: From November 22, 2024 to March 14, 2025, the Sapporo White Illumination Festival will be held at the same time as the German Christmas Market. The light show and food will bring a festive atmosphere and surprises. Lake Akan Winter Carnival: From early February to early March, the Lake Akan Ice Park offers ice fishing, ice skating, snowmobiles, and more. It's lively and fun. Itinerary Recommendations: - Day 1: New Chitose Airport - Tanukikoji Shopping Street - Sapporo White Illumination. - Day 2: Biei Popular Tree Tour - Asahiyama Zoo - Sounkyo Ice Waterfall Festival (January 25 to March 9) - Sounkyo Onsen. - Day 3: Kitami Fox Village - Abashiri Icebreaker - Abashiri Prison Museum. - Day 4: Shiretoko Hiking (various routes available). - Day 5: Bihoro Pass - Lake Kussharo - Lake Mashu - Lake Akan Winter Carnival (early February to early March). - Day 6: Akanko Ainu Kotan - Hoshino Resorts - Ice Platform - Ice Village.

Winter at Notoro Cape in Hokkaido

This is a famous spot for viewing drift ice in Abashiri City. It's about a 20-minute bus ride from the city, and since it was sunny, we could see the Shiretoko Mountain Range. The drift ice can sometimes be completely invisible depending on the day, so it's a matter of luck, but it's recommended for winter sightseeing in Abashiri. ✱----------------------------------------------- 【Name】Notoro Cape 【Location】Misaki, Abashiri City, Hokkaido 【Fee】Free -----------------------------------------------✱

[Hokkaido] A rare prison museum! Introducing the Abashiri Prison Museum

The Abashiri Prison Museum in Abashiri City, Hokkaido, is a preserved real prison that has been in use since the Meiji era, and you can visit the former Abashiri Prison, which was known for its extremely cold interior and harsh prison sentences. 🥶 The many dolls of prisoners and guards are very realistic, and you can understand the harsh environment at that time. The main attraction is the radially extending cells to make it easier for the guards to keep an eye on them. Some prisoners managed to escape from Abashiri Prison by evading the strict security, and there are interesting exhibits such as dolls of prisoners escaping, which can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. ⭐️ For lunch, we recommend the "Prison Restaurant" attached to the Abashiri Prison Museum. 🍚 You can eat the same food as the current prisoners, and it has a reputation for being quite delicious. In fact, the hokke I ordered was very delicious with just the right amount of fat, and I was impressed that I could enjoy Hokkaido's delicious seafood gourmet even in a prison. ✨ 📌Abashiri Prison Museum 📌1-1 Yobito, Abashiri, Hokkaido 099-2421 📌It's a bit far from the station, so it's recommended to visit by car🚗 📌Famous rating★★★★☆ #HokkaidoTourism #Hokkaido #AbashiriCity #AbashiriPrison #Museum #Prison #LocalGourmet

Let’s break the ice !

This was taken from Aurora Sightseeing Boats departed from Abashiri Port, in Hokkaido prefecture. Buses connect from Abashiri Station to Aurora boat terminal (10 minutes, 200 yen). The peak period to enjoy such a beautiful scenery is during mid to late January! It was so cool breaking through the drift ice~ The salt flavoured ice cream is also oishi! #Hokkaido

I visited Lake Notoro!!

Lake Notoro (のとろこ) is a lake located in Abashiri, Hokkaido, Japan. Here are some of its features and attractions: 1. Characteristics as a Salt Lake Lake Notoro is known as a salt lake, not a freshwater lake. It is connected to the Sea of Okhotsk, so the lake water contains salt. This creates a unique landscape where lake water and sea water mix. 2. Seasonal Scenery Spring & Summer: Various wildflowers bloom around the area, allowing you to enjoy the natural beauty. Autumn: From September to mid-October, the coral grass (Akkeshi-so) around the lake turns a vibrant red, creating a 'crimson carpet' that attracts many tourists. This is an iconic view of Lake Notoro. Winter: The lake surface can freeze, and you can also observe drift ice in the nearby Sea of Okhotsk. 3. Rich Ecosystem and Nature Lake Notoro is home to a diverse range of wildlife. It is especially known as a bird-watching spot, where you can enjoy various bird species throughout the seasons. In this way, Lake Notoro is a tourist spot with different attractions throughout the year.

I visited Abashiri Prison!!

Abashiri Prison, located in Abashiri City, Hokkaido, is a historical prison established during the Meiji era. Initially, it was used for prisoners to engage in the development of Hokkaido under harsh conditions. Prisoners were particularly utilized as labor for constructing railways and roads in the undeveloped areas of Hokkaido, and life in the severe natural environment was extremely tough. History and Role Abashiri Prison was opened in 1890, and prisoners mainly engaged in the development of Hokkaido. Notably, prisoners known as the 'Five Men of Abashiri Prison' advanced the construction of the road from Abashiri to Asahikawa (known as the Prisoners' Road), significantly contributing to the development of Hokkaido. Current Abashiri Prison Today, part of Abashiri Prison is open to the public as the 'Abashiri Prison Museum,' where visitors can learn about the history of Japanese prisons, the lives of prisoners, and the development of Hokkaido. The museum features restored wooden buildings, tools used by prisoners, and exhibits recreating life inside the prison, making it a popular spot for many tourists.

Hokkaido | Visit the Sacred Site of Golden Kamuy, Abashiri Prison.

The manga 'Golden Kamuy,' which has been adapted into movies and dramas, is a hot topic. I'm a big fan too, and the setting of the manga, which includes the important cultural properties of the prison cells and the central watchtower, is here at 'Abashiri Prison.' Seeing the same scenery as in the manga right before my eyes made my heart swell with emotion. Shiraishi~! I'd love to hear from fellow fans in the comments, haha. This time, I visited because of the manga, but as I took my time to go around and read the explanations, it also became an opportunity to learn about various histories. There were inhumane events and tragedies, but on top of that, there is the current Japan, Hokkaido, and our lives. 'From records to memories, in doing so, the prisoners who lost their lives might be redeemed.' These words were very heavy. The museum is spacious, rich in nature, and I even saw Ezo squirrels running around. And if you come here, you must visit the 'Prison Cafeteria.' You can eat meals that are recreated from what was actually served at Abashiri Prison. And it was surprisingly delicious♡ Maybe because it's Hokkaido?? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Inside the Museum, Abashiri Prison 📍 1-1 Yobito, Abashiri City, Hokkaido 🕐 9:00-17:00 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The view from the Tentozan Observatory was completely obscured by fog, so I could only step on the 44th parallel north.

I didn't go into the Okhotsk Ryuhyo Museum, I just went up to the rooftop Tentozan Observatory. It was so foggy at the Tentozan Observatory that I couldn't see anything 🙈. I could only take a photo on the 44th parallel north outside the museum. 📍Tentozan Observatory 245 Tentozan, Abashiri, Hokkaido 093-0044 Japan

Fill the camera with a scenery, this is the beauty of the end of Hokkaido, Cape Notsuke

🌟A movie 'If You Are the One' has shown the beauty of Hokkaido, the northernmost part of Japan, to the world, and the stunning beauty of Cape Notsuke in Abashiri is fascinating. ❤Cape Notsuke is located at Notoro Cape, about 10 kilometers north of Abashiri City. Notoro is a cape that juts into the Sea of Okhotsk. 'Notoro' comes from the Ainu language not-oro (not-oro = at the cape or place). 🧳At the top here, there is only a lighthouse and a local management office. At one end of the cliff's cape, there is an octagonal Western-style black and white striped 'Cape Notsuke Lighthouse' (built in 1917). The lighthouse is about 21 meters tall, and Cape Notsuke is famous for its spectacular views, which can be enjoyed all year round. Behind it, Lake Notsuke is known for its autumn coral grass, but in the dead of winter, you can enjoy the spectacular scenery of the nearby drift ice. Walking to the very top, you can experience the incredible scene of being almost 360 degrees surrounded by drift ice. 👍Standing on Cape Notsuke, to the west you can see Lake Notsuke and the coast of Konan Town in Kitami City, and to the east you can see the distant Shiretoko Mountain Range. The vast panorama itself is a magnificent landscape, and the Chinese movie 'The Way to Get the Targeted Love' (original title: 'If You Are the One'), starring Noriko Sakai in 'The Antarctic Cook' and Sayuri Yoshinaga in 'The Cherry Blossom Guardian of the North', were all filmed here. In addition, it is also the location for the filming of an aviation advertisement by a famous idol group and the famous Toyota Prius advertisement. 🖼The coral reef area around Wild Bird Cape is also a habitat for seals. Having binoculars would be perfect when touring the cape. From mid-May to mid-October, cows and horses graze near the lighthouse at the Abashiri City Misaki Farm. In winter, the drift ice contacts the coast, making it the best spot to view the drift ice. 📍Address: Misaki, Abashiri City, Hokkaido 🚉Transportation: About 20 minutes by car from the center of Abashiri City 🗓Nearest station: JR Abashiri Station

【Dinner】COTA Okhotsk Buffet

The open kitchen, brimming with a sense of openness, offers a menu featuring ingredients from Hokkaido's Okhotsk region. There's freshly fried tempura, sashimi including salmon, Moyoro pot where you can choose your ingredients, and pizza baked in a stone oven. There are so many options it can be hard to choose, but dinner is enjoyable. Desserts are plentiful, and you'll leave feeling full. If you're staying over, I recommend the hotel buffet for dinner. 【Lodging】Kitaten no Oka Abashiri Lake Tsuruga Resort 【Location】159 Yobito, Abashiri, Hokkaido 【Access】About 15 minutes by car from Memanbetsu Airport 【Reference Budget】From 18,000 yen (for 2 people, 1 room with 2 meals) Check-in 15:00 Check-out 10:00 Visit Date: Mid-February 2024

You can enjoy a menu that you would expect in Hokkaido from the morning. The sashimi (salmon with ikura) can be put on rice to make a seafood bowl, and you can choose your favorite ingredients for freshly made omelets and miso soup. The bread was also delicious. On the way to the breakfast venue, I even encountered a wild Ezo squirrel. It was a very satisfying hotel morning.

Ryūhyō Museum

#thingstodo For those interested in the sea angel (clione) and learning about drift ice, this museum is worth a visit. Although it's not a large museum, the exhibits are informative and engaging. The museum offers a theatre that shows a documentary about drift ice with subtitles in different languages, including English. You can also explore several small aquariums featuring sea creatures from the Okhotsk Sea and visit an ice room where you can swing a towel and witness it freeze, which is a unique and enjoyable experience. The observatory deck can be accessed without purchasing a ticket and you can enjoy a stunning panoramic view of the Okhotsk Sea, with drift ice stretching out for several kilometers. The majestic Shiretoko mountain range serves as a dramatic backdrop, completing the breathtaking scenery. If you're a fan of salted caramel flavor, you'll love the ice cream sold on the first floor - it's absolutely delicious! Overall, I recommend this museum to anyone who wants to learn more about drift ice and see some incredible sea creatures, particularly the cute and charming sea angel.

Okhotsk Ryūhyō Museum

#thingstodo A great museum to learn about the wildlife and drift ice of the area. Many displays have English, including the professionally-produced video. There is a drift ice experience room, where they keep the temperature well below freezing and give you a damp towel which you can swing around and see what funny shape it freezes in. The small aquarium also functions as a 3D video screen that the staff can operate (you can ask them to show you if it's not busy); you can see a diver's science excursion in the sea. The free observation deck upstairs has a nice view, and the ice cream from the cafe is a light salt-caramel flavor

Hokkaidō Museum of Northern People

#thingstodo A wonderful museum presenting the lives and cultures of various northern native peoples. A very visual museum with numerous displays, archival documentary footage, and touchscreens with English information. Check the website for a ¥50 discount. There is no cafe or restaurant, but there are vending machines and coin lockers. I spent about 90 minutes here.

Hokkaidō Museum of Northern People

#thingstodo A really beautiful museum. The whole exhibition is arranged in an entertaining and informative way. It doesn't just include Ainu, but Inuit and many other norther indigenous people. Unfortunately some of the wording in the English is a bit out of date. We were completely alone in the museum. It was a calm and wonderful experience. highly recommended

Wakkanai Daqu Lakeside Park | The warmth in the cold

After visiting the Wakkanai Prison Museum, going downhill along National Road 39, one side is the Wakkanai River that runs through the city. When waiting for the car, it was sunset, and the cold Daqu Lakeside Park on the opposite side was quite warm! In general, Wakkanai is relatively remote and sparsely populated. The cold wind blows on the dark streets in the evening, and there are almost no pedestrians. The brightest place is the warm 'Eat at Home'!

Abashiri Prison | If you want to eat prison food, please experience

Travel thousands of miles to the northeastern corner of Hokkaido - Abashiri, just to eat a meal of prison food ! As a result, I found that the prison canteen has moved from the prison to the outside of the prison gate, this 900 yen prison meal is not authentic , but the taste is still good (Figure 4)! During the Meiji period, in order to resist Russia's southward search for a non-freezing port, the government decided to rapidly develop Hokkaido. Using the prisoners sent to Abashiri Prison to build roads became a "masterstroke": saving costs by working, and saving expenses when they died! As a result, 1115 prisoners worked for 8 months, built 228 kilometers of roads, and 211 people died. The cold and hard Abashiri Prison has created many prison break kings, among which Torakichi escaped three times, and the last time he was caught back after being pierced by a 5-inch nail, he was later called "Five-inch nail Torakichi" (Figure 7). Because the Abashiri prison break incidents are frequently reported in the media, it has attracted public attention and finally forced the authorities to improve the treatment of prisoners in Japanese prisons. ⏳Play time: 3 hours 💰Average consumption: ticket JP1500/person 🌟Highlights: The taste of prison food is really good 😌, and there is a paid project for taking prison photos , and staying in prison for one night ! The play is the "not taboo at all" prison experience 🚓😵‍💫😵‍💫 🚉Traffic strategy: direct bus 🚌

[Hokkaido] Enjoy the Sea of ​​Okhotsk on a limited-time tourist train

Visited in February 2023 *Drift Ice Story JR Hokkaido's tourist train "Drift Ice Story" runs right next to the Okhotsk Sea when it is filled with drift ice😊 Whether you can see the drift ice depends on luck, but you can enjoy this rare sight that can only be seen here on Japanese railways from inside the train✨ Train running between Abashiri Station and Shiretoko Shari Station The distance traveled is 37.3km☺️ This year the drift ice was late and had not yet come ashore, but I was able to see it from afar🙌 There was also original goods for sale, so I had a lot of fun🥰 #Snowscape#Hokkaido #HokkaidoTrip #TouristTrain #DotoTourism

Okhotsk Ryuhyokan in Hokkaido, eat salty ice cream and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

During your self-driving trip to Hokkaido, when you come to the coast of Okhotsk, you might as well consider stopping at the Okhotsk Drift Ice Museum to have a salty and fragrant ice cream and enjoy the beautiful view from the top floor. The Okhotsk Drift Ice Museum has a space to experience the ice at minus 15 degrees Celsius and introduce drift ice creatures, but I think the most worthwhile thing is the observation deck on the top floor, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the coast. #New Year’s Good Place##JapanTravel #Hokkaido #Seaview

Getting There - Attractions - Hotels - Food & Restaurants - Shopping -

Very strong wind but very good see view

It can be taken from the sea in the Sea of Okhotsk, with a white lighthouse at the top of the cliff, which is extremely small under the background of the vast sky and the sea. Because the movie "You Are the One" was once popular in this scene. can be very rare, it is a bit desolate in the cloudy days, but the simplicity of the clear stream in the sun is also a place to face the sea and let go of the mood.

Nets in the Okhotsk Ice Museum When I came to the net, when the ice was not formed, the icebreaker couldnt sit naturally. It was a comfort to the Okhotsk Ice Museum. At the foot of Tiandu Mountain, the venue is not big, starting from the basement level. First go to the small theater to watch a film about drifting ice, use five screens to show the growth of drifting ice, sit too close and feel a little dizzy. Get out of the auditorium and show off the introduction of the science of ice formation. The magic in the biological sink is a small creature called "The Ice Angel", which is transparent, with a red part of the body and the head, in the water. It seems like a little angel flapping his wings as he wanders. In fact, this is a kind of unsealed conch, which usually lives in the low-temperature waters such as the Arctic Ocean, the Southern Ocean, and the Bering Sea. During the winter, there will be ice-skating in the Sea of Okhotsk, and in the spring, it will leave the coast with the drifting ice. Then came to the body of the ice body, and stored the natural drift ice in the room of minus 15 degrees. If you feel cold, you can rent a winter clothes, but in a short time, it is actually good. In the open-air observatory, you can enjoy the panoramic view of the Tiandu Mountain, but it is closed due to poor weather. On the second floor there is a restaurant and lounge, on the first floor is the reception and shops, recommending ice cream! Too taste, joined the sea salt of Okhotsk, blue is the natural pigment from seaweed, very special.

[Hokkaido can take summer and winter] The cliff that protrudes from the Sea of Okhotsk, the black and white lighthouse stands quietly - it is the iconic attraction of Hokkaido, except for the familiar "You Are the One", "Antarctic Japanese films such as "The Chef" and "North Sakura Shou" are also on the scene. On the west side is the lake and the magnificent coastline. On the east side, you can see Shiretoko Lianshan. In the summer, the grasslands and flowers are paved, the water is clear and the bottom is covered, the winter is covered by white, and the ice wonders are not to be missed. Fortunately, I came here in two different seasons. When the weather is fine, the wide view is refreshing. If it is a snowstorm, the silence is only the wind, but it is the end of the world. Address: Hokkaido Abashiri City

Meilu from the United States can look at the panoramic view of Lake Kussharo, it is also one of the "If You Are the One" location. On the itinerary, the itinerary says can confirm if you can go according to the weather conditions, because the road is sometimes blocked in winter. When I first came here, I was scared. The wind blew people up, and the ice was rolling up on the snow. It hurt on the face and hands. There is a stone monument next to it, and when you pass, you will play the song of the same name played by the Skylark. But I didn't dare to stop, took photos in a hurry, and fled into the store without going to the observatory. After two days from Shiretoko to the women's full airport, the departure time was earlier and the weather was good, so I decided to go to the United States to see. The beauty that I saw this time is simply another world. The distant Shiretoko has a beautiful and spectacular peak. It is rare that there is a sea of clouds~

The first impression many tourists have on Japan is that the traffic is criss-crossed, the expressway extending in all directions, running through the JR National Railway and Shinkansen in Japan, interlacing the city trams and subways like the net, listening to whether it is already big. Don't be afraid, the intimate Japanese have launched the JR PASS Rail Pass, which only foreigners can purchase. This time, Zhang Shao takes you on the route of the Tateyama Kurobe, Takayama and Matsumoto area travel coupons.

Shiretoko Five Lakes are five large and small lakes scattered in the original forest. The intimate contact of Shiretokos nature is a good place for sightseeing on foot. Shiretoko Lianshan, reflected on the calm lake, is known as one of the eight scenic spots of Shiretoko. In addition to walking along the lake, you can also overlook the lake and mountains on the elevated wooden bridge. This is Japan's third world natural heritage and the only natural heritage of Hokkaido. In the Shiretoko Five Lakes, you must experience the beauty of nature. You can choose to walk, or do the ropeway, and walk the corresponding route. Don't go by yourself. If you are 8-10 months, you can see the brown bear.
