Take the kids on an icebreaker cruise in Monbetsu 🚢❄️
Icebreaker Cruise of Monbetsu, Hokkaido
One of the must-do winter experiences in Hokkaido for the whole family! Take your children on an icebreaker cruise through the pristine white sea and witness this magnificent natural phenomenon of the Sea of Okhotsk.

💡Highlights you shouldn't miss:
· 🛳️🧡The distinctive orange icebreaker Garinko-go III IMERU uses a large spiral drill at its bow to crush and break through ice sheets.
· 🌊🩵Get up close and personal with the ice-covered sea. See ice floes floating as far as the eye can see, sometimes with a beautiful and unique turquoise color.
· 🎉♥️Experience the thrill of the sounds and vibrations as the ship cuts through the ice—an experience that children will surely love.
· 🐳💙See wildlife among the ice. If you're lucky, you might even spot Steller's sea eagles or seals.
⏰Best time to visit:
💡The 2027 sailing season is January 15th – March 31st, 2027.
· Recommended time: Mid-February – early March
· This is the period with the highest chance of seeing ice floes floating closest to the shore.
