Let's go see the drift ice in the sea of Okhotsk!
In January winter is fully underway, and the drift ice makes its annual appearance. Ride the
ice-breaking boatAurorain Abashiri! Experience the power of the boat as its sturdy keel carves its
way through the ice. If you are lucky, you may sight lovely seals relaxing on the drift ice. JR
Hokkaido will operate a special trainRyuhyo Limited Express Okhotsk-no-kaze (Drift Ice Limited
Express Okhotsk's Wind)between Sapporo and Abashiri in the drift ice season again this year. It
will make 5 roundtrips a day; this is in addition to theOkhotskwhich runs every day. I wonder
when the drift ice will arrive alongside of Hokkaido this year. I am very much looking forward to it.
On the long trip between Sapporo and Abashiri, you
can enjoy a comfortable trip on the roomyRyuhyo
Limited Express Okhotsuku-no-Kaze'. If you look up
from your seat you will see skylights flooding the
interior with warm light. Write a message on the
boarding certificate you will
receive, put a stamp for a
postcard on it and post it in the
specially made post box.
