2025 Abashiri Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

Staying experience at Hotel Abashirikoso 🏨✨ I stayed at Hotel Abashirikoso in November 2024! 🎉 Overall, the hotel is not new, but there is a nostalgic warmth to it and it was very comfortable. The facilities were well-equipped and I had a comfortable stay. 🌟 The room we stayed in was spacious, and we could see the beautiful view of Lake Abashiri from the window! 🌅 In the morning, the lake surface was sparkling in the sun and my heart was soothed. 🪟✨ Both dinner and breakfast were wonderful 🍴💕 There were many dishes that used plenty of fresh local ingredients, and the seafood dishes were especially delicious! 🥂✨ I was impressed by the dishes that made me feel the season. In addition, there was a brass band performance at the hotel in the evening 🎷🎵 In particular, the performance of the full song "Shiretoko Tabijyo" was an indescribably moving moment, combined with the quiet lakeside night. 🌌🎶 The heartwarming sounds made my travel memories even more rich. Hotel Abashirikoso was a wonderful inn filled with warmth and emotion. I'd like to visit again! 💖 #HotelReview #Abashiri #AbashiriTourism #Shiretoko #ShiretokoPeninsula #Hokkaido

Eastern Hokkaido is the essence of Hokkaido tourism. The roads are bad and public transportation is inconvenient in winter, but this means that the beautiful scenery is preserved due to the lack of tourists. It gets dark in Hokkaido at around 4 pm, so keep this in mind when planning your itinerary. I like natural scenery and cultural attractions, so if you're tired of the classic routes, don't miss the advanced routes in Hokkaido from February to March. Hoshino Resorts: Hoshino TOMAMU Resort is the largest ski resort in Hokkaido. The powder snow is picturesque, and the 20+ ski runs will satisfy your skiing dreams. There are also exciting snow activities to enjoy the charm of ice and snow. Shiretoko Hiking: Walk on the Shiretoko Peninsula and admire the magnificent drift ice. The Shiretoko Five Lakes or drift ice walks are both fascinating. Cross the snow to find traces of animals, and you may encounter foxes or deer, leaving unforgettable memories of nature. Abashiri Icebreaker: Don't miss the winter-only Abashiri icebreaker tour. Feel the shock of nature in the icy sea, and you may encounter manatees, seals, and more, adding a mysterious touch to your journey. Sapporo White Illumination: From November 22, 2024 to March 14, 2025, the Sapporo White Illumination Festival will be held at the same time as the German Christmas Market. The light show and food will bring a festive atmosphere and surprises. Lake Akan Winter Carnival: From early February to early March, the Lake Akan Ice Park offers ice fishing, ice skating, snowmobiles, and more. It's lively and fun. Itinerary Recommendations: - Day 1: New Chitose Airport - Tanukikoji Shopping Street - Sapporo White Illumination. - Day 2: Biei Popular Tree Tour - Asahiyama Zoo - Sounkyo Ice Waterfall Festival (January 25 to March 9) - Sounkyo Onsen. - Day 3: Kitami Fox Village - Abashiri Icebreaker - Abashiri Prison Museum. - Day 4: Shiretoko Hiking (various routes available). - Day 5: Bihoro Pass - Lake Kussharo - Lake Mashu - Lake Akan Winter Carnival (early February to early March). - Day 6: Akanko Ainu Kotan - Hoshino Resorts - Ice Platform - Ice Village.

This is a famous spot for viewing drift ice in Abashiri City. It's about a 20-minute bus ride from the city, and since it was sunny, we could see the Shiretoko Mountain Range. The drift ice can sometimes be completely invisible depending on the day, so it's a matter of luck, but it's recommended for winter sightseeing in Abashiri. ✱----------------------------------------------- 【Name】Notoro Cape 【Location】Misaki, Abashiri City, Hokkaido 【Fee】Free -----------------------------------------------✱

An open-air history museum that preserves and displays the old buildings of Abashiri Prison [Abashiri Prison Museum]✨ The vast grounds are packed with buildings designated as important cultural properties and exhibits of registered cultural properties, making it a very interesting sight. You can learn more about Abashiri Prison in depth at the Prison Experience Theater⭐️ There is a prison cafeteria on the premises, with the theme [Please don't call it a "nostalgic taste"]😅 Barley rice, grilled fish, small and medium plates, miso soup. It is said to be a reproduction of the meal menu served as lunch at the current Abashiri Prison. The menu names are Prison Food A and Prison Food B. The difference between sanma and hokke made me laugh out loud. It was too realistic, so I had the Abashiri Prison Pork Bowl with vinegared rice made from 3 parts barley and 7 parts white rice, which was simple but not bad ☺️ The soup is a secret recipe hidden in the walls 💡 Please don't give me the real thing 😂 💰Price per person: Prison meal 950 yen 📍Location: 1-1 Yobito, Abashiri, Hokkaido 🕰️Opening hours: 11am-last orders 2:30pm Abashiri Prison Museum is 🕰️Opening hours: 9am-5pm Admission fee 1500 yen Free parking #AbashiriPrison#AbashiriPrisonMuseum#PrisonDiningRoom#Abashiri#AbashiriGourmet#AbashiriLunch#GoldenKamuy #0yenTrip

The captain of this whale watching boat is a fisherman. In addition to having rich experience at sea, he is also a professional tour guide. The whale watching boat runs from April to October, with two departures a day at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., and the sea time is about two and a half hours. Although on-site registration is accepted if there are vacancies on the day, this itinerary is very popular, so it is better to register early! The whale watching boat has two floors. In addition to the broad view, the deck area on the second floor can also clearly track the figures of whales and dolphins. While listening to the captain's explanation, the boat had unknowingly arrived at the whale watching location. The location is in the Nemuro Strait between the Shiretoko Peninsula and Kunashir Island in the Northern Territory. I thought the boat would be very rocky, but unexpectedly it was calm and comfortable. But the temperature changes are very big. When I was on land, I felt the weather was very good and warm. After getting on the ship, I felt very cold because I was on the deck for a long time blowing in the sea breeze. Although you can rent raincoats on the boat, you still need to bring gloves and a woolen hat in spring and autumn, and don't forget to bring an extra coat to keep warm in summer. Note: Please come 10 minutes before the boat departs. Board the boat at the pier behind the meeting point [Michi-no-Eki]. -------------------------------------- ⛴️ Abashiri Nature Cruise 📅 April 20 to October 31 🕐 9:00/13:30 departure (2.5~3hr) ‼ ️ Before 17:00 the day before the reservation 🎟️ Adults 8,800 yen 📍 Minami 3-jo Higashi 4-chome 5, Abashiri City, Hokkaido #Japanese and Korean City Attractions #Hokkaido Travel #Abashiri #Whale Watching #Whale Watching Out to Sea #Japan Summer Travel #Hokkaido Family Travel #Hokkaido Tourism

The Abashiri Prison Museum in Abashiri City, Hokkaido, is a preserved real prison that has been in use since the Meiji era, and you can visit the former Abashiri Prison, which was known for its extremely cold interior and harsh prison sentences. 🥶 The many dolls of prisoners and guards are very realistic, and you can understand the harsh environment at that time. The main attraction is the radially extending cells to make it easier for the guards to keep an eye on them. Some prisoners managed to escape from Abashiri Prison by evading the strict security, and there are interesting exhibits such as dolls of prisoners escaping, which can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. ⭐️ For lunch, we recommend the "Prison Restaurant" attached to the Abashiri Prison Museum. 🍚 You can eat the same food as the current prisoners, and it has a reputation for being quite delicious. In fact, the hokke I ordered was very delicious with just the right amount of fat, and I was impressed that I could enjoy Hokkaido's delicious seafood gourmet even in a prison. ✨ 📌Abashiri Prison Museum 📌1-1 Yobito, Abashiri, Hokkaido 099-2421 📌It's a bit far from the station, so it's recommended to visit by car🚗 📌Famous rating★★★★☆ #HokkaidoTourism #Hokkaido #AbashiriCity #AbashiriPrison #Museum #Prison #LocalGourmet

I went to the Abashiri Prison Museum in Hokkaido!!

It's very large, so I recommend going on a day when you have plenty of time⭕️ The dolls are very realistic and I'm always surprised🤣 It made me think about a lot of things😳 It's educational and you can learn about history, so I definitely recommend it for your trip✨ 📍 1-1 Yobito, Abashiri, Hokkaido 10 minutes by bus from Abashiri Station 9am-5pm #HokkaidoTourism#HokkaidoTrip #AbashiriPrisonMuseum #AbashiriTourism #777

This time, I will introduce the Okhotsk Drift Ice Museum in Abashiri, Hokkaido. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations before going, but I was pleasantly surprised. The Okhotsk Drift Ice Museum itself is not large, but there are many interesting things to see, such as the drift ice experience terrace at -15 degrees where you can touch the creatures of Okhotsk and real drift ice, the drift ice theater with five screens, and projection mapping. After the drift ice is transported to the building, it is transported to this room by hand. Before entering the terrace, you will be given a wet towel, so you can proceed while swinging it around. The towel will become hard as a rock... You can also take commemorative photos with seals and Ezo red foxes. After leaving the drift ice experience terrace, we watched the drift ice theater and the projection mapping, but what I was most fascinated by were the sea angels. It was the first time I had seen so many sea angels. After watching the sea angels for a while, we went to the observation terrace on the third floor. You can see Lake Abashiri. The prices are reasonable and there are many unique exhibits, so if you visit Abashiri, please stop by♪ 244-3 Tentozan, Abashiri, Hokkaido 093-0044 #Hokkaido Tourism #Hokkaido Trip #Abashiri Tourism #Okhotsk Drift Ice Museum #Aquarium #777

Abashiri, Hokkaido, has had prisons and jails since ancient times. Near the still-active Abashiri Prison is the Abashiri Prison Museum, a former prison. The gate looks very imposing, but rest assured that it is a proper museum. The former prison facilities have been preserved to some extent, and the museum conveys what kind of facilities they were. The power or solemnity of the facility was quite impressive. I visited in the afternoon, and the atmosphere, combined with the dimness, was particularly impressive. #DomesticTravel #Hokkaido #HokkaidoTrip #AbashiriPrison

Cape Notoro is a short drive from Abashiri. It's difficult to access without a car, but the view from here is quite amazing. The beautiful Sea of ​​Okhotsk, the Shiretoko mountains in the distance, and the black and white lighthouse that decorates the cape are very striking. Depending on the season, drift ice can come close to the coast, creating a very dynamic view. The road from the main road to the lighthouse area is a little difficult to find, so be careful even if you are accessing by car. However, it is worth visiting. #DomesticTravel #Hokkaido #HokkaidoTrip #Lighthouse #CapeNotoro

Last time I shared that I was looking forward to taking an #icebreaker but the flight was delayed due to strong winds… The next day I was going to leave Abashiri I didn’t give up and went to the official website to check There was a boat in the morning but no floating ice It was just a 30-minute sightseeing flight⛴️ At first I was struggling whether to go But my elders also wanted to take a boat so we set off #Icebreaker without drifting ice Although there were no stunning floating ice The good weather added a lot of points I was still very excited to go out You can sit in the cabin and watch the scenery through the glass You can also go to the deck Of course, the deck is also full of people Everyone doesn’t seem to be affected by the number of drifting ice The only thing is to take a quick photo while everyone gets off the boat After taking the icebreaker, we went to a nearby restaurant for lunch You can choose grilled seafood and sashimi donburi But the preparation time of the meal is a bit long The seafood is not particularly outstanding I hope I will have the opportunity to see the magnificent floating ice next time #日本景点 #Hokkaido #Abashiri #冰破船 #家庭旅行

The surprise of missing the icebreaker 💕 Count has completed a month of Hokkaido trip I hope to finish the trip while there is still snow 🤣 One of the highlights of the trip was taking the #icebreaker I booked my ferry tickets online a long time ago But being able to ride an icebreaker or see an ice float really depends on luck... On the day of the trip we visited the Netwalk Prison in the morning The 3pm icebreaker was booked in the afternoon It was strange to find that there were no tourists when we arrived at the pier🤔 It turns out that the flight was #underrunning because of too much wind💢 The old and the young are in a mess🤪 Search for nearby attractions now Finally, we went to the #Flow Ice Glass Pavilion next to it Flowing Ice Glass Museum is a #handmade glass workshop Inside there are fine crafts and jewelry for sale Not to be missed is the cafe with #views awesome There was basically no one when we went in You can sit by the window This cafe is really nice to photograph The drinks are also very exquisite 🍹 Found a lot of people taking pictures in the snow outside the Cafe We also took a lot of pictures here It's an unexpected gain from missing the icebreaker However, we also sat on an icebreaker without ice floes the next morning I will share with you later 😉 #Hokkaido #Netwalk #Icebreaker #FlowingIceGlassPavilion #Photo #Hokkaido Family Tour

In order to take an icebreaker, I took an inland flight from Sapporo to Abashiri City. Abashiri is very small, with only two attractions, the icebreaker and Abashiri Prison. It was even more difficult to make ends meet, most shops were not open or closed very early, and finally found a barbecue restaurant, Dachang Yuen. Dachangen is a family-style barbecue restaurant with a menu that is all in Japanese and requires a limited translation from Google. Since it is a small shop, the owner is very enthusiastic, the food quality is good, the value for money is still very high, 3 people ate so much for 7000 yen! 📍Dachang Garden 3-chome, Minamigojo West, Abashiri, Hokkaido #Daichoen #Abashiri #AbashiriYaki #Abashiri Izakaya #Hokkaido Izakaya #Abashi グルメ #なんば焼肉 #焼肉デート #焼肉好きな人と繋がりたい #生ハラミ #delicious しいもの巡り #Nambaディナー #NambaYaki #okosakafoodie #food #yakinikuhkfoodb #hkfoodblogger #barbecue lovers #barbecue lovers must eat #barbecue lovers can't miss #hokkaido #abashiri #japantrip #japantrip2023 #Japan trip #Hokkaido trip #jk721_japan

Lake Notoro is located about a 20-minute drive from Abashiri Station in Hokkaido, and is a lake formed from the seawater of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. Around September, the coral grass in the Ubaranai coral grass colony in the lake turns red, creating a spectacular sight that can only be seen in autumn. On sunny days, the contrast with the blue of the sky and sea is beautiful, and in recent years it has also been featured on the cover of tourist guidebooks. 📌 Ubaranai, Abashiri City, Hokkaido 📌 Ease of access ★★☆☆☆ 　It is convenient to have a car. 📌 Spectacular view ★★★★★ #Autumn trip #Hokkaido #Spectacular view #Abashiri #Lake

Chipmunk Park in Abashiri Yobito is a hidden popular spot. Cute chipmunks are allowed to roam freely in the park, running around! You can feed them, and sometimes they'll sit on your hand and eat, and some even sit on your shoulders or head. They run around quickly, so be careful not to step on them by mistake. Walk on tiptoe in the park! And watch your back, because if you lift your heels when squatting, they may slip into the gap, so be careful⚠️🐿
