    The icebreaking ship Aurora/Aurora 2 are large sightseeing vessels that in seasonal service break the drift ice of Okhotsk. In addition to enjoying the sound and impact of breaking ice from the observation deck, you might also be able to catch sight of wild animals such as seals if you are lucky.

Shuttle buses are available from Memanbetsu Airport and JR Abashiri Station.

    This farm is managed by the Japan Deer Society. The 7 hectares grassland is surrounded by a 2-3 meters high fence, and you can view the yezo sika deer relaxing in the farm up close. The farm is large so the deer can be at a distance, but when they notice people standing by the fence the friendly deer will come up close to the fence. If the deer do not approach the fence at first, they will come if you call them. During the baby rush in June, you can also see mother deer looking after their fawns.

    この5,6年毎年訪れています。 全くの初心者の方もOKとなっていますが、牧場近辺を歩く( 常歩)だけなので、他の外乗と大きくは違いませんが。 乗馬経験のある方なら林道や牧草地を駈足でガンガン走れ最高です。速歩でも山の中などを回れますので充分に楽しめます。す。

    北見市郊外にある牛の育成牧場に遊歩道が設けられています。 第2広場から歩いて展望台を目指そうと思っていたのですが 第1広場から先は大雨で道が通行止めになっていました。 仕方なく第3広場からアプローチ、 大東林道の標識を見逃し道を間違えました。 曲がるところに第3広場という標識はありません。 展望台からは雌阿寒岳 雄阿寒岳、藻琴山、知床連山が見えました。 残念ながら山頂が見えたのは雄阿寒岳と藻琴山く...

Hokkaido Areas

around-area-map

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
