- Product Code:
The harsh winter season. The sea in Shiretoko is completely covered with ice. I will walk on such ice wearing a dry suit with excellent protection against the cold and water.
Ice floes are essential for living creatures living in Shiretoko.
If you take a step on ice, it's a world of wild animals. By wearing a special suit,
You can step into the world of creatures that live with ice.
“Drift Ice Walk” is an activity that can only be experienced in the Utoro district of the Shiretoko Peninsula for only a month and a half.
Why don't you feel the activities of living creatures woven by ice floes with your own skin? You will surely be captivated by the spectacle you had never imagined before participating.
The real thrill of the drift ice walk held by Picchio Shiretoko is that you can not only walk, but also experience the ice floe in many ways using various tools and experience the ice floe from a “360°” perspective!
