2025 Abashiri Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

Staying experience at Hotel Abashirikoso 🏨✨ I stayed at Hotel Abashirikoso in November 2024! 🎉 Overall, the hotel is not new, but there is a nostalgic warmth to it and it was very comfortable. The facilities were well-equipped and I had a comfortable stay. 🌟 The room we stayed in was spacious, and we could see the beautiful view of Lake Abashiri from the window! 🌅 In the morning, the lake surface was sparkling in the sun and my heart was soothed. 🪟✨ Both dinner and breakfast were wonderful 🍴💕 There were many dishes that used plenty of fresh local ingredients, and the seafood dishes were especially delicious! 🥂✨ I was impressed by the dishes that made me feel the season. In addition, there was a brass band performance at the hotel in the evening 🎷🎵 In particular, the performance of the full song "Shiretoko Tabijyo" was an indescribably moving moment, combined with the quiet lakeside night. 🌌🎶 The heartwarming sounds made my travel memories even more rich. Hotel Abashirikoso was a wonderful inn filled with warmth and emotion. I'd like to visit again! 💖 #HotelReview #Abashiri #AbashiriTourism #Shiretoko #ShiretokoPeninsula #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.

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 -----------------------------------------------✱

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

Last time I shared that I was looking forward to taking an #icebreaker but the flight was delayed due to strong winds… The next day I was going to leave Abashiri I didn’t give up and went to the official website to check There was a boat in the morning but no floating ice It was just a 30-minute sightseeing flight⛴️ At first I was struggling whether to go But my elders also wanted to take a boat so we set off #Icebreaker without drifting ice Although there were no stunning floating ice The good weather added a lot of points I was still very excited to go out You can sit in the cabin and watch the scenery through the glass You can also go to the deck Of course, the deck is also full of people Everyone doesn’t seem to be affected by the number of drifting ice The only thing is to take a quick photo while everyone gets off the boat After taking the icebreaker, we went to a nearby restaurant for lunch You can choose grilled seafood and sashimi donburi But the preparation time of the meal is a bit long The seafood is not particularly outstanding I hope I will have the opportunity to see the magnificent floating ice next time #日本景点 #Hokkaido #Abashiri #冰破船 #家庭旅行

The surprise of missing the icebreaker 💕 Count has completed a month of Hokkaido trip I hope to finish the trip while there is still snow 🤣 One of the highlights of the trip was taking the #icebreaker I booked my ferry tickets online a long time ago But being able to ride an icebreaker or see an ice float really depends on luck... On the day of the trip we visited the Netwalk Prison in the morning The 3pm icebreaker was booked in the afternoon It was strange to find that there were no tourists when we arrived at the pier🤔 It turns out that the flight was #underrunning because of too much wind💢 The old and the young are in a mess🤪 Search for nearby attractions now Finally, we went to the #Flow Ice Glass Pavilion next to it Flowing Ice Glass Museum is a #handmade glass workshop Inside there are fine crafts and jewelry for sale Not to be missed is the cafe with #views awesome There was basically no one when we went in You can sit by the window This cafe is really nice to photograph The drinks are also very exquisite 🍹 Found a lot of people taking pictures in the snow outside the Cafe We also took a lot of pictures here It's an unexpected gain from missing the icebreaker However, we also sat on an icebreaker without ice floes the next morning I will share with you later 😉 #Hokkaido #Netwalk #Icebreaker #FlowingIceGlassPavilion #Photo #Hokkaido Family Tour

Visited in February 2023 *Aurora, a drift ice sightseeing icebreaker If you want to see drift ice, take a boat! When the season starts, reservations fill up quickly, so it's best to make a reservation early 🙌 It was still early that day, and I had heard that the drift ice hadn't arrived yet, but when we went out to sea, we saw the drift ice‼ ️ It's not the main event yet, but we had fun 😊 They sell a beer called drift ice draft on board, so please try it while watching the drift ice ☺️ #snowscape #Hokkaido #Hokkaido trip #drift 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).

I went to Hokkaido 👏🏻 This time I traveled from Memanbetsu to Shiretoko. "Hotel Abashirikoso" It was about 30 minutes by car from Memanbetsu Airport, and we arrived in no time while driving along the lakeside. The room where I stayed was located on the lakeside, and the colorful 🍁 were very beautiful and fantastic. The building is a little old, but it was clean and there were no problems 😚🌟 I was very satisfied with the good old-fashioned atmosphere. The large public bath was also large, and I was able to relieve the fatigue of my trip while soaking in the natural hot spring. The open-air bath was also great. . 💓 I also ordered breakfast, but I ended up eating too much. 🤤🥞 #StayingAtHome #Gourmet #Buffet #HotSpring #Halloween #AutumnFoliage #RetroStreetScenery #Hokkaido #BreathtakingView #GourmetTrip #TripWithChildren

[Abashiri, Hokkaido Drift Ice Sightseeing] The best part of winter in Abashiri is enjoying the drift ice of the Okhotsk Sea from a boat 🚢 It's rare to experience cruising through ice floating in the sea, right? ? It's so moving! The drift ice you can see here is apparently frozen ice flowing down a Russian river! Amazing😍 If you're lucky, you might even see a seal⁉️ ~ ...

The cold days continue, but there is a spectacular view that can only be seen at this time of year! The best thing is the drift ice in Hokkaido🧊, and in Abashiri you can see the collaboration of drift ice and trains! It is "Kitahama Station" on the JR Senmo Line in Abashiri City, Hokkaido. It is touted as "the station closest to the Sea of ​​Okhotsk" and "the station closest to drift ice", and is a popular tourist spot that appears in various movies and dramas🚉 Inside the small wooden station building, there is a retro and lovely coffee shop, "Teishaba", where you can eat a delicious lunch! Popular menu items include seafood curry, clam soup pasta, and Okhotsk ramen🍛🍝🍜 In the waiting room of the station building, there are many business cards and messages from people who have come here, and it is a station loved by travelers! Next to the station building is a wooden observation deck from which you can see the Sea of ​​Okhotsk🌊 In terms of the timetable, there is only about one train per hour, both up and down, so plan your trip accordingly! It's a popular spot where tourist buses stop, so if you're visiting Abashiri, be sure to stop by! Finally, master, it's really cool! I saw a wild fox on the way here 🦊! 📍Kitahama Station Address: Kitahama, Abashiri City, Hokkaido Access: 20 minutes by car from Abashiri Station 15 minutes by train from Abashiri Station Business hours (stop): 11:00-18:00 Closed on Tuesdays Cost (stop): 1000 yen Recommendation: There are 16:35 and 17:00 on both sides, so it's the best chance to take a picture!
