Drift ice, a phenomenon where northern sea ice flows on Sea of Okhotsk currents south to Hokkaido before slamming into the eastern shoreline, is a natural wonder not to be missed.

Beyond the mesmerizing beauty, the drift ice attracts a wide variety of wildlife, including Steller’s sea eagles, white tailed eagles, northern fur seals, a myriad of fish and crustaceans, and even the remarkable Cliones.

The best time of year to experience Hokkaido’s drift ice is in February, although the arrival of the drift ice varies from year to year.
