When is the best time to experience the "snow walls"?




The snow mantle at Otani, sometimes gets more than 20 meters because of snowdrifts. The famous "snow walls" are formed when the roads are cleared and sightseers can experience it from mid-April to late May.

What is the Japanese name for drift ice?


Shiretoko, along with the coastline from Monbetsu, is also one of the places in Hokkaido where you can spot the incredible drift ice (ryuhyo in Japanese) which comes across from northeastern Russia during the winter months. You can participate in all kinds of drift ice related tours, from venturing into the icy waters via boat, diving amongst them, walking a top the drift ice pieces, or enjoying the view from the coast as your take in an endlessly white, wintery wonderland with both sea and shore covered in a bright white glow.
