Reviews
March 08, 2026. There are still many ice floes, and the temperature is -2 degrees Celsius. It's very enjoyable to play in the icy sea. Location: Shiretoko Utoro, Japan.
Being able to see drift ice is truly a great stroke of luck. It was a wonderful time with a kind guide.
Very fun, great experience...
The guide was friendly and everything was great! I'll have to come back when there's more drift ice.
We went there in early March, and the ice had melted a little, but the scene was still stunning. I believe it will be more beautiful if you go there in February.
I did it with guide Yuki. I don't know any Japanese, but they explained things in English so well that I had no trouble following along! It was so much fun, and I went alone, but they took really good pictures, and when I came out, I had a great time looking out in the water while looking for Clione. Even though it was late March, there were a lot of drift ice and the weather was so nice that I will never forget it!!
Very special, but unfortunately every tour guide does it differently. I saw that the quarantine group could go on the ice as a group, but my tour guide only wanted to move around freely.
very amazing experience and the tour guide is nice and caring. the dry suit is easy to wear and can keep you warm & dry. I’ll recommend this activity!!!
The tour leader had a bad service attitude, was extremely rude, and was very dissatisfied. During the filming, he even took away his mobile phone. Other unknown group members also felt the same way. In addition, I don’t understand why the Japanese group member allowed the filming and did not collect his mobile phone. I don’t understand why this happened. This situation makes us very disappointed, 𣎴 will participate in this kind of event again
the guide was super friendly and met us up at the Utoro Onsen Bus terminal on time. we even completed the tour on time to be back to Shari station!
