Safety First

  • Guided Tours Required: Do not attempt to walk on the Ice Horizon alone. The ice varies in thickness, especially in January (early formation) and March (warming temperatures), creating hazardous areas. Join a guided tour to explore safely.

  • Convenience: Drinks and snacks are available at the shop and vending machines.

Transportation

  • No Regular Buses: The Notsuke Peninsula Nature Center bus runs only in summer.
  • Winter Transport: Use the Higashi Hokkaido Express Bus (reservation required).

Practical Information

  • Access: Fly into Nemuro Nakashibetsu Airport (SHB), then take a taxi or rent a car.
