Monbetsu:the Sea of Okhotsk

The areas facing the Sea of Okhotsk have floating ices every winter.
If you are lucky you will see seals and egales resting on the ices.
At Monbetsu in North-east of Hokkaido, it is fun to take a small ship
which go through the floating ices by breaking them. It depends on the
wind where you find the ices. Sometimes by the shore, other times offshore.
Ar far east of Hokkaido, Abashiri, you may join a walking tour on the ices.
Enjoy cold weather in Hokkaido!
