Very interesting place to visit. I watched Golden Kamuy which sparked an interest to come here. Quite sombre reading/seeing/watching the history of the place. When we were here, it was blazing hot. Bring an umbrella. We had one and it made things slightly more bearable. There are some provided apparently, but we didn’t see any at all anywhere. There’s one building with air conditioning which provided some reprieve.

The museum is set on the original site of the Abashiri Prison. The prison’s architecture is stunningly preserved, showcasing the five-wing wooden radial prison design, centered around a towering watchtower. The museum goes beyond just buildings by incorporating lifelike mannequins and detailed narratives, immersing visitors in the history and the daily lives of inmates and guards alike.

If you're in Abashiri, then it's worth the one visit. Relatively expensive tickets compared to other museums etc. Great selection of souvenirs unique to Abashiri as well.

The Abashiri Prison Museum is an absolute must-see. We visited in February 2025 during the winter, and it was a truly captivating experience. The museum offers an incredible look into the construction of the prison and the historical context behind its existence. The detailed wax figures were effective in bringing the narratives to life. What made our visit even more special was that we were actively watching the Golden Kamuy series, allowing us to immediately connect. Definitely, make time for this!

Abarishi is a good stop on the drive from Kitami to Shiretoko. The prison museum sits on very large grounds and is a made up of restored and replicas of what the prison was like from the late 1800s to early 1900s The attention to details helps to bring one back to how life was like not only for prisoners but also prison guards.

It doesn’t have a gloomy atmosphere as you might expect from visiting a prison. It has a beautiful ground. There are main cells, bath house, solitude cell as well as a staff quarter.

The tickets are pricey at ¥1500, and I would recommend Moyoro Shell Mound, Northern Peoples, and Ice Drift Museum for close to the same price combined! But, this experience is unique and will give hours of enjoyment to tour the grounds and see all of the displays and mannequins that have been set up well. Learning the history of island's other prison was great too!

The facility has three floors. The first floor is a souvenir shop. After purchasing a ticket, you go down to the basement level, which includes three sections: 1. Drift ice viewing – You can put on thick winter clothing to experience a temperature of minus 15 degrees Celsius, and there’s an interactive activity where you can freeze a wet towel by swinging it in the air. 2. A multimedia theater – It introduces the phenomenon of drift ice. This area is more suitable for children, with limited visual appeal or playability. The ticket isn’t very cost-effective. On the second floor, there’s a dining area, and the third floor is an observation deck.

A few seconds in the -15 degree celcius room to freeze a towel, feel the ice from the sea of okhotsk, see the interesting tiny creatures from the sea of okhotsk, taste the blue salt ice cream, view the shiretoko mountain range from the roof top….. a good slow moment there.

Small but interesting museum. Can see some cute marine creatures and touch real ryuhyo ice. The staff are really nice and helpful. The Caramel soft serve with blue salt is tasty. The view seen from the observation deck is superb.

This museum is way cooler (pun intended) than we had expected! And super educational. Short visit, but sweet.

Lovely for an hour or two. Very interesting tanks of drift ice sea creatures. Very cool visual experience in the theatre. The frozen room is a fun experiment but don’t expect kids to stay in there very long!! Im sure the views are amazing but it was cloudy for our visit.

A small but sophisticated museum with abundant knowledge about the social wildlife in a drifted ice area, and delicious ice cream is definitely worth trying! The Italian restaurant on the 2nd floor is also 👍

View point at level 3 of the museum. Its free entry. You only need to pay for entry into the museum. There is also a cafe and a shop.

A small yet beautifully curated museum dedicated to the northern peoples. It’s fascinating to see how simple materials were ingeniously transformed into survival tools, all while maintaining a sense of artistic beauty. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in every artifact on display are truly moving. Definitely worth a visit — highly recommended!

Came in early feb. Good informative museum about northern people and their culture. Lots of informative exhibits. Though i find abit lacking on the ainu portion. Lots of videos showcasing the different regional cultures of the northern people. Its quite interesting to know that there are archaeological sites nearby as well. There was a special exhibit there on sturgeons and salmons too. Quite interesting to see baby fishes.

Old school style ethnic museum where some English diction may need updating. One great aspect of this museum is the lack of original foreign artifact, I think many/most are reproductions meaning none were stolen.

A really beautiful museum. The whole exhibition is arranged in an entertaining and informative way. It doesn't just include Ainu, but Inuit and many other norther indigenous people. Unfortunately some of the wording in the English is a bit out of date. We were completely alone in the museum. It was a calm and wonderful experience.

A wonderful museum presenting the lives and cultures of various northern native peoples. A very visual museum with numerous displays, archival documentary footage, and touchscreens with English information. Check the website for a ¥50 discount. There is no cafe or restaurant, but there are vending machines and coin lockers. I spent about 90 minutes here.

550 yen for adult, Uni student only 200yen! Spent 1+hrs , come with free audio guide for English explanation on the history, lifestyle and culture of the northern people. Free parking

Short but worthwhile museum. For free, they have recorded explanations in many different languages. They suggested 30 minutes, but we took 45 minutes.

They were able to seat me when I walked in (just 1 person) though they limited me to 1 hour, plenty of time for me though! Ate the beef tongue, very chewy in a good way, and wagyu set, which melts in the mouth 🤤 also had tartar, that was also amazing, I liked the things on the side like apple, egg. Ordered the flight which is not too much for one person thankfully. Paired great with meat 🥩 I was able to get free donut and ice cream for following their IG, honestly was the best way to finish an amazing dinner 🤩 Was a bit expensive, but so worth it

The price is reasonable and there are many varieties of choices for yakiniku, seafood is also interesting, they have their own brewery beer, of course I try their famous light blue Drift Ice beer, I highly recommend it, and cold Stone ice cream for ending is just a perfect night🤟

I recently dined at this restaurant, and I must say that the food was exceptional. The staff who served the food were friendly and incredibly helpful throughout the meal. However, I had a less pleasant experience with the cashier at the front desk. She appeared a bit cold and had difficulty communicating effectively with customers. Despite this, I would still recommend the restaurant for its delicious food and excellent serving staff.

The meat and the Ryuhyo Beer were so good!! There was a waitress with super unique vibes. Her service might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but we loved her. Also this place gets super packed so I totally recommend booking in advance.

Wait 60 min and nothing happen, japanese come after me 4-5 groups and get table before me, worst. No explaining, clerk lady don't speak English but when u eat it you will forget what I said, good taste

Loved it! I got the beer tasting menu, it's four small beers including the Abashiri blue beer for 800 yen. Also at the hostel I was staying they gave me a kind of coupon for a complimentary free yakuniku at this place, just a bit of meat but went great with the beer!

Nice

Another in my wish list in prison museum is eating in this restaurant! They offer prison meal set A and B. Food is simple and nice, clean and nice environment. Order food in the vending machine and kitchen will let you know when your food is ready.

Granted only a short time window to access their lunch menu as in 11am-2:30pm, it is best to not miss out this rather authentic experience! We had both their jail meal set A & B. It was absurdly pleasant! The grilled fish was done right, miso soup and side dishes were all tasty! They also have a wider and more casual menu too all at affordable prices. This might be the only jail museum if not one of the few in the world to serve prison-themed meals to visitors. A good stop for lunch prior to exploring the whole area at your own pace!

Prison themed food. Fried potato wedges is nice.

Don't come for the food. But you can read the Golden Kamuy comic while being here so.

Next to prison Abashiri meuseum, limit selections about meals

(Translated by Google) Visited September 2025 After seeing the "Prison Museum," it was just the right time for lunch, so I stopped in as a souvenir. It's a self-service style, where you purchase your food from the ticket machine located right at the entrance, pick up your meal at the counter when your number is called, and then get your tableware and other items refunded when you're done. Prison Meal A and Prison Meal B were also available, but I decided against them and ordered the "Miso Char Siu (1,000 yen)." It consisted of a few thin slices of char siu, an overly salty soup, and hard-boiled noodles. Overall, the food wasn't even a star. (Original) ・2025/9 訪問 「博物館 監獄」を見終えてランチにちょうどよい時間になったので記念として入ってみました。出入口直ぐにある券売機で購入し番号を呼ばれたらカウンターに取りに行って食べ終えると食器等を返金するセルフサービスのスタイルです。監獄食A、監獄食Bもありましたがそれをやめて「味噌チャーシュー1,000円」を注文。内容はペラペラほチャーシュー数枚としょっぱ過ぎるスープで麺の硬茹。全体的に星1つもない味でした。

(Translated by Google) Before touring the prison, you can fill your stomach here and apparently eat a replica of prison food. I had the Atka mackerel, prison food B, but I wondered if this is really what they serve in prison? The rice is mixed with barley, so it's a bit luxurious as it comes with two side dishes, but if you eat the Atka mackerel set meal at a certain place like... Ken, all you get is cold tofu (lol) (Original) 監獄を観覧する前に腹ごしらえを、こちらでは監獄メシの再現が食べられるとのことです。 監獄食Bのホッケをいただきましたが、本当にこれが監獄で出るのか？ ご飯は麦の混ざったご飯なんであれなんですが、副菜が２品もついて結構豪華だと思いますけど、某や…軒でホッケ定食を食べたら、冷奴しかついてきませんから（笑）

Very friendly small Izakaya, everything was delicious and perfect for a cold snowy night. Fried Tomato was great and came with a massive serving of thousand Island Dressing (unique).

it’s nice to walk in. however the top 4 items recommended by chef without mentioning about ingredient. They contain cheese which my wife are allergy to. The crab fried rice is so salty, we can’t take much at all.

(Translated by Google) This was my first visit on a business trip. All the food was delicious. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 出張で初訪問です。 料理はどれも美味しかったです。 ごちそうさまでした。

(Translated by Google) I called the day before to make a reservation. It was great to be able to order food in advance. I was shown to a private room, so even if I spoke loudly, it didn't carry over to the outside, which was reassuring. The food was delicious, and I was particularly surprised by the size of the hokke, which I'd never seen before. Personally, the fried rice and chawanmushi were delicious. I would definitely like to visit again if I travel to Abashiri. (Original) 前日にお電話させていただき予約。事前に料理の注文をできたのがとても良かった。個室のような部屋に通していただき、ある程度の声量が出ていても外にはあまり響かず安心した。料理もおいしく、特にほっけは見たことのない大きさで驚いた。個人的にはチャーハンと茶わん蒸しがおいしい。網走に旅行した際には是非また訪れたいと思った。

(Translated by Google) I visited the day before a lecture to which I had invited a friend. After all, there are many delicious dishes. Of course, the whole fried tomato, which is a staple and cannot be missed, is a delicious meal. This restaurant requires reservations. postscript We had dinner with Sayo Honme, a member of the Taito Ward Council, as a lecturer at the Abashiri City Council Training Session. It was delicious this time too. This is a store suitable for welcoming customers. (Original) 友人をお招きしての講演会の前日に伺いました。 やっぱり美味しい料理の数々。 定番で外せないトマトの丸ごとフライはもちろん美味しい食事ばかりです。 予約必須のお店です。 追記 網走市議会議員研修会講師として、本目さよ台東区議をお迎えして食事をしました。 今回も美味しいいただきました。 お客様を迎えるのにもふさわしいお店です。

(Translated by Google) Whatever we ordered was delicious, and there was a wide selection of rare Japanese sake that wasn't on the menu. The fried whole tomato was especially delicious. In contrast to the quiet master, the landlady was bright and friendly, and her attentiveness made me feel comfortable. The store's phone was ringing frequently, and there were quite a few customers who showed up without a reservation and were turned away because the store was full, so I guess it's a very popular store. If you go here, you need to make a reservation. (Original) なにを頼んでも美味しく、メニューには無い珍しい日本酒の品揃えもたくさんありました。特に丸ごとトマトフライは絶品でした。寡黙なマスターに対して女将さんは明るく気さくな方で、気配りが心地よかったです。 店の電話も頻繁に鳴っていたし、予約無しで来店して満席で断られる客も結構いたので、大人気店なのだと思います。ここへ行くなら予約必須ですね。

(Translated by Google) I made a reservation by phone, even though I didn't think it would work! Lucky me! 🤞 The food was delicious! 😋 #1-3 was a hit! 🎯 The chawanmushi appetizer was creamy and delicious! 😃 (Original) ダメ元で電話で予約！ ラッキー🤞お料理　美味しい😋 NO1〜3当たり🎯 お通しの茶碗蒸し　クリーミーで最高😃

Found this place through the T.V series (manga adaptation) Hokkaido Gals are Super Adorable! by Kai Ikada. I really don't read or watch romance genres and haven't had read any since 2021( in O/L's subject - English Lit story - Twilight of a Crane) . I would like to say this is my first romance (including rom-com and slice of life) story/anime I have come access since Twilight of a Crane wasn't found by me nor I read it intentionally at the beginning... I love both of them but this (Hokkaido Gals are Super Adorable!) , I really love this so much. The scenes really are from real-life locations. That's what makes this unique for me. And the love reaction (known as chemistry) going between them and also with others really feels natural especially with the environmental setting, Winter to sprint then summer to autumn. All the pictures/images uploaded with this comment are based on the anime Hokkaido Gals are Super Adorable! and were originally taken from the anime by myself. All the credits goes to the anime producers and author @Kai Ikada. Thank you all for this marvelous creation. Looking forward for an announcement of Season 2 (🥹)

Visited on 14 May 2025 at around 2pm. Happy to see pink moss blooming. Pleasant weather. We walked all the way to the top of the hill. Beautiful scenery. Amazing experience.

26/4/25 jus tried our luck swing by the park. As stated 3/5 officially opens. So we literally saw nothing although it’s one wk apart. I wonder how this pinkies gonna grow by 3/5?! Not even a young buds being seen in the park

Be patient—they’re nearly in bloom. In the meantime, enjoy free entry and a pleasant walk. A perfect stop during your road trip.

Lovely display of shibazakura. A bit touristy though in terms of how the park is laid out, with "photo spots" for people to have their photos in front of giant hearts etc.

Went here during May23, peak blossom. It does look like moss from far and like a carpet too. There are plenty of photo spots and some eateries selling ice creams and fast foods. If you have problems walking, there is a mini bus service going around the park. The driver will drive very slowly so you can take pictures with ease and enjoy the view. We didn't have enough time to explore every inch of the park because of tight schedule. Maybe next time. Highly recommend if northern Hokkaido is part of your plan. From Sapporo will take about 4-6h. So it won't be a day trip.

The flower park in May is stunning with the vastness of the curated vibrant pink moss field. You can easily spend 2-3 hours enjoying various activities such as pond fishing, go-karting, and the free foot Onsen. The entrance fee is ¥600. While there’s a lot of walking, a mini bus service is available for those with accessibility issues or limited time.

Not many things to see. Basically a good place for driving rest but not worth dedicated visiting.

The "Koshimizu Wild Flower Park" is an about 8 km narrow strip of dunes between the Okhotsk Sea and Lake Tofutsu along Route 244. Located near the Genseikaen JR train station. Boardwalk style. Visited in July, and there wasn't much to see frankly. Sporadic clumps of yellow day lilies, and some other wild flowers.

10 June. The wild flowers are not in full bloom yet.

Beautiful hilly dunes covered in green on 24 Aug 2025, nothing to see at this time so did not stay long

Nice place with a very cure train station.

Gorgeous view all around if you love nature. You're able to see the mountains from afar and the sea isn't too far from the mini train station too.

Nice place but got to visit during the right time as the flowers might not open yet, Interesting as lake is so close to sea and you get both of them together to view with lots of wild flowers

Great experience and a must do if you’re in Abashiri. The experience is usually 1 hour (30 minutes out to sea and 30 minutes back). You can see the drift ice only at certain times of the year Jan through to very early March. A call out is that there is no guarantee to see it so please keep that in mind. The boat itself is very warm indoors and you can leave your luggage in coin lockers or for 500 yen with staff in the office while you do the boat tour. If you want to see more photos and tips, feel free to check out my Instagram → @6yearsinjapan

Adults: about 3,800-5,000 yen, children: about 1,900-2,500 yen. A little expensive, but very comfortable. The large ship is stable and comfortable. The interior is fully heated, and you can admire the drift ice through the glass, so you don't have to worry about the cold. It is popular with families and older people. If comfort and stability are important to you, then the ‘Aurora' is more suitable than the 'Garinko'.

Must experience this if you are around the area! However, since the drift ice can only be controlled by mother earth, make sure to check beforehand on their website to see if you can see the drift ice before you plan to visit. If there is no drift ice, it might not be worth it. Also beware of sea sickness! Bring meds or at least be prepared for some big waves. There are bags you can use but I've seen people throw up.

So incredibly fortunate as we were able to do this on the one day we had at Abashiri and we were told that the weather had prevented sightseeing the four previous days. So we were in luck and it was just wonderful. We saw the drifts and lots of wild life as well. Good cruise very professional.

I visited on February 27th on a sunny day and the drift ice was at its peak, with the beautiful Shiretoko mountain range as a stunning backdrop. However, it was quite crowded and the ice breaking ship seemed old. I recommend making a reservation in advance as people from all over the world, as well as Japan, flock to see the drift ice during its peak season. While the ice breaking ship trip can get a bit boring after a while, I was still happy because I got to see the drift ice up close at its fullest. Overall, this is a very touristy trip, but if you're interested in seeing the drift ice up close with the beautiful Shiretoko mountain range, it's definitely worth checking out.

Jan 2025 Booked flight tickets all the way here and ended up with no ice drifting. A huge disappointment as the whole town is basically very boring and dead. However the customer service staff was really helpful and helped us to book a cab.

The ships were canceled due to strong winds. Local specialties and restaurants are open, but the observation deck is closed.

A small train station with limited facilities. The tickets are checked manually. There is a small waiting area , just a small stall selling bento. There are coin lockers next to the tourist office. Bus Stop #1 outside the station by the roadside has scheduled by buses going to the airport or the Aurora drifting ice breaker terminal.

At night, Abashiri Station is completely unmanned, emphasising the quiet, rural charm of Hokkaido's regional stations. Although small, it has a certain nostalgic atmosphere, reflecting the simplicity and remoteness of the area.

If you need any guidance in booking the tour then visit the Tourist Information center inside the station complex, they have very helpful staff members, they speak English, I have attached the selfie picture with him, please show this if you visit. He was super helpful in my taxi booking to Cape Notoro, Taxi is little expensive, they charge like 8K to 10K for return at Station, the taxi driver was helpful, Driver was waiting for me to take pictures at Cape Notoro and then dropped back. I liked one of the item in the Information Center but the manager didn’t sale to me, It was a big sad moment for me because I really liked that item, didn’t find similar looking item elsewhere. There is no bus from Abashiri station to Cape Notoro so, only having expensive taxi option, I would stay its a worth to pay for such a beautiful landscape and experience. I would highly recommend to stay few nights in Abashiri and then see the places, I was unable to find any hotels at Booking dot com so, travelled back to Kushiro. Please book your hotels minimum 2-3 weeks in the advance.

Small Station but have staff and reserved seats availability

Station Abashiri is the terminal station for the Limited express Okhotsk from Asahikawa. I really like the atmosphere around the station!

coming here virtually bcz of Dosanko Gal .. I ❤ Anime with real life cultures N places ~

just ordinary train stations, far from any minimarket, atm or restaurant. the closest was donburi ichiya to the left side and kfc / pizza hut to the right side (around 7 minute walk)

This gelato shop showcases creativity with a diverse selection of flavors, from classics like pistachio, caramel, and rum raisin to local specialties such as corn, pumpkin, and matatabi. Seasonal options like mojito in summer and chestnut in autumn add further variety. Made with locally sourced, low-temperature pasteurized milk from Abashiri, the gelato is undeniably rich and flavorful. Yet, ironically, the pure "milk" flavor remains the standout choice—simple, yet the most delicious.

Not all flavours are served ; but what were available today were ok . I didn’t get to try my rum and raisin . We had Pistachio , chestnut , latte flavour instead . Then we ordered extra serving of pistachio again as we find pistachio is the best flavour ! Recommended to try if you are around the vicinity, worth the calories!

Very easy to reach from Abashiri Station. Just wait Memanbetsu Airport Line bus at 16.15 at Platform 2, 15 minutes later you arrive in front of Rimo Gelateria! The creams are soft, milky, the taste is good. I like Hojicha (Japanese Roasted Tea) flavor.

Mouth-watering gelato place! Risu no mori provides a variety of flavors; some are classics, others are creative! Hazelnut flavor was very rich, mojito was refreshing as hell! Basilico boasted its straightforward basil aromas! If I had more time, I would have had more than 10 flavors. You can also find gelato packaged in cups. They are stored in fridges on the left side.

pistachio and chocolate ~ best gelato so far in japan!

I only have ONE thing to say... DISAPPOINTED 😞. I CAME THERE BECAUSE I SAW THE GOOD REVIEWS,BUT WHO KNEW THAT IT WAS NOT GOOD.I ORDERED A DOUBLE SCOOP OF ICECREAM,CHOCOLATE AND CHOCOLATE CHIPS.COSTED 600YEN. THERE WERE LIMITED SEATS. I WOULD ACCEPT IF IT WAS CHEAP BUT LITERALLY ONE SMALL DOUBLE SCOOP ICE CREAM COST 600YEN ,SERIOUSLY , I FELT LIKE I GOT SCAMMED. I WOULD ACCEPT IF IT WAS TASTY,BUT NO IT WAS AVERAGE. PLUS THE CHOCOLATE ICECREAM'S TOPPINGS TASTED A BIT WEIRD AND SOUR!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU TO COME HERE AND GET SCAMMED LIKE ME!!!!😡😡😡

Special taste are good

Absolutely waste of time to detour to reach the place. There was along queue of people waiting with the kids with no one informing what’s going on or any information provided on how long to wait. We waited for about 15min in the darkness of being trapped and left without visiting. They mismanaged the place and many people with kids also seen leaving. Some of them were locals. Visit at your own risk if you have time to waste on such waiting.

This was a very special experience. It's a quiet place, on a country road, by the shores of Lake Abashiri. You need to be very quiet when you are with the chipmunks as they are very small and nervous. Follow all the instructions exactly to ensure the animals' safety. Find a place to sit, wait with food, and the chipmunks will come to you. Photos are OK, but no flash. I would advise getting there before it opens at 10:00, and going in with the first group. Closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The gift shop is very small. This is not about the souvenirs. It's about the cutest experience you'll probably ever have.

Love it here! Absolutely fun feeding at least a hundred chipmunks!! Bought the biggest pack of feed for 550 yen! Yet still not enough for our kids to feed them. We will be visiting them again tomorrow. Too cute to miss!! ❤️❤️❤️

Please wear shoes. Chipmunks can't tell if my toes were a big walnut. Buy Chipmunk food at the location to feed. Information before entry was entertaining. Please do not step on Chipmunks as 15 lives have taken so far.

There is staff to do crowd control and brief the customers on the dos and donts. It is not a big place but one can surely spend quite a while in the park feeding, photographing and watching the super cute chipmunks. They are very used to humans now so they will dart around freely and come right up for food.

My first encounter with chipmunks!! I thought chipmunk is around the same size as squirrel. So, I was very surprised when I saw the chipmunks. They were so tiny!!! Super adorable. 100% chance to feed and take good photos. Worth the visit. Remember to check out the closing days when you’re planning the itinerary! If you’re traveling with kids, you got to be sure that they are not the kind that run around everywhere. Because they might step on the chipmunk. The lady shared that 10+ chipmunks had died in the park due to people not following the rules. It’s quite sad.

It's really cute and the animals are well taken care of. Tip: the small bag is more than enough, the chipmunks are very well fed from all the visitors 😆

Great view. When we arrived there with a clean sky and comfortable temperature since it was rained.

Surprisingly beautiful at sunset. Even more surprisingly it's a private farm but does not charge anything, the government also build a free roadside carpark just for visitor to take photo. Both my eyes and heart are touched.

is approximately 1km from memanbetsu station, actually just a field with planted trees with no intention of being popular, but very instagrammable, there is a short stop for cars to pull over to take photos. Entering people's fields is of course prohibited. I took the photo in December- early snowfall. my hands really hurt but the blue sky and white fields were very beautiful. just wish there were seats to enjoy it like a bus stop.

Stretching as far as the eye can see, the vast fields of Hokkaido bask in the sunlight, painting a picture straight out of a fairytale. Each season brings a unique transformation to this enchanting landscape. Take a leisurely stroll through these fields and immerse yourself in the tranquility that surrounds you. If you find yourself with some free time during your travels, be sure to visit this hidden gem and experience the true beauty of Hokkaido.

There is a parking place available. The view is pretty.

Made a quick stop here on our way to Abashiri and it was a great spot for taking a photo. The location has a dedicated space for cars to stop, which was very convenient.

You can take some amazing pictures here! And never enter the farmland plz!!!

The restaurant is located at the second floor of the building, with great view of the Abashiri coast with drift ice (during the season). You order the food at the machine by the entrance, and cashless payment available. Once purchased the ticket, feel free to get a seat and wait for your ticket number to be announced once the food is ready, though they will only announce it in Japanese. I ordered the recommended champon noodles. The soup was little bit salty but tasted good in general, with two dried scallops inside.

A restaurant located within a road side stop with lots of souvenirs options. We had katsu curry and noodle soup - the broth was super rich and yummy and curry was good curry.

Simple, unspectacular fare. My friend & I order the champion set (soy ramen + fried rice) and sushi donburi. General taste is alright, nothing unspectacular but you probably will not complain about food either. I personally would have walked 2 mins to the building just BESIDE Ryohyo Glass Museum, where's a decent looking donburi and ramen shop.

They have restaurant at the second floor, selling Japanese seafoods like ramen, sashimi, curry, kanimeshi, and champon. Meal order processed by vending machine, so we just only wait after ordering, and they will call you with number of ticket you get. Do not forget to return your dishes after next to the kitchen door (may be confusing for some foreigners since no explanation available).

It is recommendable only if you are starving and need quick meals.

(Translated by Google) This food court is located inside the roadside station, Ryuhyo Kaido Abashiri. It is fun because the interior is like a Showa-era movie theater, probably because Abashiri was famous for filming movies set there. You pay in advance at the ticket machine in front of the store. You can also use cashless payment such as credit cards. You can eat local gourmet food for 1,000 to 2,000 yen per item, so it's very cost-effective. After much deliberation, I decided on the most popular dish, Abashiri Chanpon. The light soup with scallops, clam cabbage, and onions matches the thick noodles. Pickled ginger was served separately, so you can add it to your liking. The main dish is seafood, so it's very filling, but you won't be left over after eating it. The sweet cabbage was also delicious. When in doubt, go for the Chanpon! I recommend it. (Original) 道の駅流氷街道網走の中にあるフードコート。網走を舞台にした映画撮影で有名だったのか、昭和のキネマ館みたいな内装で楽しい。店頭にある券売機で前払い制。クレジットカードなどのキャッシュレスも使えます。単品で1000円から2000円の範囲でローカルグルメ食べられるのでかなりコスパよいと思います。どれもこれも魅力的なメニューがあり迷いに迷った挙句、一番人気の網走ちゃんぽんにしました。ホタテ、アサリキャベツ、玉ねぎがはいったあっさりスープに太い麺がマッチしてます。紅ショウガは別でついてきたのでお好みでいれるスタイル。海の幸がメインなのでボリュームたっぷりだけど後にのこらず食べられます。甘みのあるキャベツもおいしかった。迷ったときはちゃんぽんで決まり！おすすめです。

(Translated by Google) A cinema-themed restaurant located on the second floor of the roadside station. It's a food court. Portraits of each person are displayed from the entrance of the store. But I can feel the atmosphere of the Showa era. The menu is diverse, including ramen and rice dishes. I think it is relatively reasonable and has good cost performance. The seats are comfortable with a view of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. A window seat is highly recommended if possible. (Original) 道の駅内の2階にある、シネマをモチーフにした フードコートです。 お店の入り口から各肖像画が飾ってあり、否が応 でも昭和の雰囲気が漂ってきます。 ラーメン類、ご飯ものなどメニューは多彩、また 比較的リーズナブルでコスパも良いと思います。 席はやはり、オホーツク海を眺めながらゆったり できる窓側が圧倒的におすすめです。

Known for selling ekiben (bento/lunch box sold on station). Seems pretty popular since I got recommended by a local and their flyer can be found in many tourist spots. Kanimeshi is its specialty I think. Basically they have two different menu. The ekiben sold inside the waiting room, but also can be accessed from inside the station. The cafe sold more fancy menu. Good taste.

No one eat in here. The price is too high and three times more than others. Actually you can the same at other restaurant. The food is small and cold. The crab is fake crab and counterfeit, not real crab. Don’t buy please.

It seems that he does not like dealing with foreigners. His attitude towards me feels hostile. The food was meh.

(Translated by Google) I had the "Crab rice and drinks set" at a restaurant attached to an ekiben shop inside Abashiri Station. It cost 1,500 yen with their specialty crab rice pot and Sapporo Classic draft beer, but I was surprised at how delicious the crab in the crab rice and the salmon roe and scallops on the side were. The owner said, "We are particularly particular about our snow crab and salmon roe," so this price with draft beer was a great deal. This set came with piping hot soup, and when you're about halfway through, you can change the flavor to dashi chazuke. This was also excellent. It was so delicious that I also bought a crab salmon roe bento, which was topped with a generous amount of their signature crab salmon roe. This was also very delicious. Even if the bento is not in stock at the shop inside the station, if you ask the owner, they may make one at the shop in front of the station and bring it to you if you can wait a little. As an aside, there are no convenience stores near Abashiri Station, but they sell canned beer here. They were selling a 500ml bottle of Sapporo Classic for the bargain price of 330 yen. The store on the premises is generally open until 3:00 p.m. It was a place I'd like to visit again. (Original) 網走駅構内にあります駅弁店併設のレストランで「かにめし晩酌セット」をいただきました。 名物かに釜飯とサッポロclassicの生ビール付きで1,500円でしたが、かにめしのカニと突き出しのイクラ、ホタテが大変美味しくて驚きました。 店主さん曰く「特にズワイガニとイクラにはこだわってます」とのことで、生ビール付きでこのプライスはとてもお得感ありました。 このセットには熱々のお出汁がついてきて、半分ほど食べたところで出汁茶漬けに味変が出来ます。これもまた絶品でした。 とても美味しかったので、自慢のカニイクラをふんだんに載せたカニイクラ弁当も購入しました。こちらも大変美味でした。 なお、構内店にお弁当の在庫がなかったとしても店主さんに相談すれば「少し待っていただけるなら」と、駅前店で製造して持ってきてくれる場合があります。 余談ですが網走駅付近にはコンビニがありませんが、こちらで缶ビールも販売されてます。 サッポロclassic500mlが330円と割安で販売されてました。 構内店の営業時間は概ね15:00までだそうです。 また再訪したいお店でした。

(Translated by Google) This bento shop is located very close to Abashiri Station. They have a variety of bentos, including the Abashiri specialty crab rice. I had the standard crab rice for 1,200 yen. It's filled with lots of crab meat and plenty of other ingredients such as shiitake mushrooms, eggs, and pickled ginger. Because it's an ekiben, it's great that it's still delicious even when it's cold. It's open early in the morning, so it's perfect for breakfast. It's a classic specialty that you'll want to try if you come to Abashiri. (Original) 網走駅のすぐ近くにあるお弁当屋さんです。 網走名物かにめしを始めとして、色々なお弁当があります。 定番のかにめし1,200円をいただきました。 カニの身がたくさん入っており、しいたけ、玉子、紅しょうがなど具もたくさん入っています。 駅弁なので、冷めても全然おいしく食べられるようになっているのがよいですね。 朝早くからやっているので、朝ごはんにもちょうどよいです。 網走にきたら食べたい定番の名物です。

(Translated by Google) This is a long-established ekiben shop. They sell salmon and salmon roe bento, crab rice bento, and other bento with a gentle flavor. You can buy bento and eat it at your lodging, or you can eat it on the train while enjoying the scenery from the window. (Original) 営業歴の長い駅弁屋さんです。サケ＆イクラ弁当、カニ飯弁当、優しい味付けでした。お弁当を買って宿で食べてもよし、列車内で車窓からの景色を楽しみながら食べてもよし、です。

(Translated by Google) I ate it for the first time in 40 years. If you ask me if it tastes good, it's like an old-fashioned ekiben. You might say it's not tasty these days, but it reminded me of the delicious things I used to eat on the train. (Original) 40年ぶりに食べました味は美味しいかと言われれば昔の駅弁です 今の時代では美味しく無いと言うかもしれませんが昔は此れを電車の中で食べた時は美味しいと思って食べたことを思い出させてくれました

The service was excellent and the homemade pickles were amazing. The mutton was well prepared and very tasty. Glad we stopped and ate here!

Nice staff. Gave us a tutorial, and friendly locals.

Totally recommend this place. A different kind of lamb than what we would usually eat (as Europeans), grilled with soy sauce and soy sprouts. Also a different kind of lunch than we've had in the past weeks!

(Translated by Google) I visited Matsuo Jingisukan Yobito for my first Jingisukan experience. I was confused and didn't know how to grill it, but the owner patiently explained it to me, putting me at ease. It was a simple style, with the meat grilled in the center of the Jingisukan pot and bean sprouts simmered around it, but the flavor of the lamb really came through and it was delicious. There was no unpleasant odor at all, and the special sauce further enhanced the flavor. I was surprised that they served a raw egg as a service. When I dipped the meat in the beaten egg, it had a mellow taste almost like sukiyaki, and it was absolutely delicious. The simple combination of just meat and bean sprouts brought out the quality of the ingredients, and although it was simple, it was very satisfying. This is a famous restaurant that I would highly recommend even to first-timers. (Original) 初めてのジンギスカン体験で松尾ジンギスカン呼人店を訪れました。焼き方が分からず戸惑っていたところ、おカミさんが丁寧に教えてくれて安心。ジンギスカン鍋の中央でお肉を焼き、周囲でもやしを煮込むシンプルなスタイルですが、ラムの旨味がしっかり染み出していてとても美味しかったです。臭みも全くなく、特製タレがさらに味を引き立ててくれました。 驚いたのは、サービスで生卵をいただけたこと。溶き卵にお肉をくぐらせて食べると、まるですき焼きのようなまろやかさで、これがまた絶品でした。お肉ともやしだけという潔い組み合わせが素材の良さを引き立てていて、シンプルながら満足感たっぷり。初めての方にもぜひおすすめしたい名店です。

(Translated by Google) I went in right when they opened at 11am before my flight. Even though there was only one customer, Google showed that it was a little busy. I wonder if you can do this in-store? I think it's best to check on the phone. Both the lamb and mutton were delicious and had no strong flavor. The nearby gelato shop is also recommended for dessert. (Original) 飛行機に乗る前の11時開店すぐに入りました。 客1人なのに、Googleではやや混みでした。 店で操作できるのでしょうか？電話での確認がいいと感じました。 ラムもマトンもクセがなく美味しかったです。 近くのジェラード店もデザートにおすすめです。

(Translated by Google) I was staying at the Koraku Business Hotel across the street, so this was the only place I could eat. The building has a refreshing feel. They offer an all-you-can-drink alcohol plan, so if you drink three beers, you'll get your money's worth. I think one serving of Genghis Khan is about one pack. Since I was alone, I had one serving of each of the three types. It also comes with some bean sprouts. The food wasn't bad, so I'd definitely like to go back if I stay at a hotel again. (Original) 向かいのビジネスホテル幸楽に宿泊してたので食べるところはここくらい。建物はリフレッシュした感じですね。アルコール飲み放題プランもありビール3杯を飲めば元は取れますね。ジンギスカン1人前はだいたい1パックくらいだと思いますね。1人だったので3種類を1人前ずつ食べました。もやしも少し付いてます。味も悪くないのでまた宿泊した時は行きたいお店ですね。

(Translated by Google) While traveling in Hokkaido, I didn't know how to order Jingisukan, so I asked the staff. It's best to just ask if you don't understand something (lol). They explained the meat and that it comes with bean sprouts. Since there were two of us, we ordered one large portion to share. They said that once the meat changes color, it's ready to eat. It was my first time eating meat in this condition!! It was tender, had no odor, and absolutely delicious!! This restaurant is in a remote location, so you need a car to get there, but it's reasonably priced and highly recommended! (Original) 北海道旅行で、ジンギスカンの頼み方がわからなかったので、お店の方に聞きました。 わからないことは素直に聞くべし（笑） お肉の説明と、お肉にもやしがついてますよってことで。 ご飯は女子2人だったので、大盛りを１つ頼んでシェアしました。 さっと肉の色が変わったら、食べていいですよって この状態のお肉食べるの初です！！ 柔らかくて、臭みがなくて、最高に美味しい！！ このお店は、ポツンとあるので、車でないと行けないけど、リーズナブルでオススメでした！

(Translated by Google) Tomorrow is Shiretoko. After landing at Memanbetsu Airport and sightseeing in Abashiri, I'm staying in Ozora Town tonight with the theme of "a night's stay with no meals and a meal at a nearby izakaya". Dinner at this place, which looked good. The appetizer was a sashimi platter. The appetizer was only 500 yen, but it was pretty nice. The ken was also delicious. I ordered Atka mackerel and mutton skewers, Zangi, and Yakko. The Atka mackerel was huge. The sauce on the mutton tasted like it was pre-made, so I didn't like it. It depends on the person. The Zangi was deep-fried at a low temperature and had a juicy flavor. It was easy to eat with a light garlic soy sauce. The Yakko was huge. Delicious tofu. Local izakayas are the joy of traveling. (Original) 明日は知床。 女満別空港に降り立ち、網走観光ののち 「素泊まりで近くの居酒屋でごはん」 がテーマで今夜は大空町で宿泊。 良さげやったこちらで晩御飯。 お通しが刺身盛り合わせ。 お通し500円ながらなかなかナイス。 ケンも美味しい。 ほっけとマトン串とザンギと奴注文。 ほっけ凄いボリューム マトンは、タレが既製品っぽい味で 好みではなかった。人による。 ザンギは低温でじっくり揚げており じゅんわり。あっさりめのにんにく醤油で 食べやすい。 奴は凄い量。美味しい豆腐。 地域に根ざした居酒屋は旅行の楽しみです。

(Translated by Google) I stayed at a hotel in front of Abashiri Station. There are few restaurants around the station, so there is a downtown area about a 10 to 15 minute walk towards the center of town. There is a shop on this corner, and the inside of the shop has a strong Showa feel. We had delicious seafood meals such as sashimi. (Original) 網走駅前のホテルに宿泊しました。 駅周辺には飲食店が少ないため、街の中心部に向かって約１０分から１５分ほど歩いた繁華街があります。 この一角にお店があり、店内は、昭和の感じが色濃く漂うお店です。 お刺し身など海鮮系の食事を美味しく頂きました。

(Translated by Google) It's a cheap and delicious izakaya. I always order tofu salad and fried shrimp. It's delicious. Dressing is good. I think this is the best izakaya in Memanbetsu. (Original) 安くて美味しい居酒屋さんです。 いつも頼むのが、豆腐サラダ、エビフライ。 美味しいですよ～。 ドレッシング、良いです。 女満別の居酒屋さんは、ここが一番かな～。

(Translated by Google) After finding out that the only dining options inside Memanbetsu Airport were a curry restaurant and a stand-up sushi bar, I quickly searched online and found this place. It seemed to be a place of relaxation for local residents, and our family was the only tourist there. It seemed to be run by a taciturn owner and his wife, who was probably his wife. This was probably the only izakaya I could find, so I went in without any expectations, but I was not disappointed. The oysters were fresh and large, and the grilled lamb and eel skewers were delicious. The salad was also fresh and impeccable. The 500 yen appetizer was a sashimi platter, but it was beyond average. After dipping into tsukemen, rice balls, and clam miso soup, I was able to fill my stomach. (Original) 女満別空港内の食事処が、カレー屋と立食い寿司屋しかないのが分かったので、急遽、ネットで調べて探し当てました。 地元住人の憩いの場らしく、観光客は私達一家だけ。 寡黙な大将と、おそらく奥さんらしき女将の二人でやっているようでした。 おそらく此処しか見つからなかった居酒屋、期待せずに入ったのですが、侮るなかれ、牡蠣も新鮮で大きく、羊串や鰻串の焼き物もおいしかった。サラダも新鮮で文句なし。 お通し500円は刺身の盛り合わせでしたが、お通しのレベルを超えていました。 つけ麺やおにぎり、蜆の味噌汁をいただいて、無事、腹ごしらえができました。

(Translated by Google) An izakaya where you can relax and drink in a relaxed atmosphere I found it on the 4th list while some stores were closed due to Corona. A truly local izakaya that makes you think there's a reason why it stays here. The reason for the 4 stars is that it is difficult to access from various accommodations. Isn't that also a lot of fun? (Original) ゆったりした雰囲気でのんびり飲める居酒屋 コロナで閉めてる店がある中で4件目で見つけたけど 残るのにも理由があると思わせるほんと地元の居酒屋ってお店 星四つなのは色んな宿からのアクセスが悪いって点だけど それも度の楽しみではあるかな

(Translated by Google) The mayonnaise that comes with the cabbage has a unique and addictive taste. Fish and seafood grilled in the hearth are the best. (Original) キャベツについてくるマヨネーズの味が独特で癖になる。囲炉裏で炙っていただく魚、海鮮類が最高です。

(Translated by Google) It's a small shop, so reservations are recommended. The raw foods, including the vegetables, are fresh, and the grilled foods are also very delicious. The fried eggs are delicious and taste like my mother's. It's perfect for drinking while chatting slowly. (Original) 小さなお店なので予約をオススメします。なま物は野菜も含め新鮮で、焼き物もとても美味しいです。卵焼き美味しくて母の味って感じです。ゆっくりお喋りしながら呑むのに最高です。

Beautiful lighthouse on black and white. Easily reached from the car park. It's atop a cliff so the view of the sea is great too. What's interesting perhaps is the surface isn't painted. The black and white are tiles! There's also a monument beside it that's work a walk to.

I visited Cape Notoro in September and had a great experience. The weather was cooling and a bit windy, but overall very good and comfortable. The view of the Sea of Okhotsk with the Notoro Lighthouse is stunning, and on clear days you can see the Shiretoko mountain range. Althoughthe summer flowers were gone, the cape still had a calm charm with early autumn in the air. What makes it even better is that it's only a short drive from Abashiri town, so it's very easy to visit without much hassle.

500m short walk from lighthouse to the monument at the other end. Nice view. Came here in early Jun 2025 so no crowd.

Visiting Cape Notoro during winter was quite an adventure! The drive here was challenging, with the road covered in frozen snow that felt as hard as rock and very slippery. If you plan to drive during winter, please be extremely careful. But the effort was totally worth it - the view of the Cape Notoro with drift ice was absolutely amazing! We spent about an hour walking along the cape and soaking in the stunning scenery. However, the wind was quite strong, so make sure to dress warmly, especially with gloves and ear protection. Overall, a fantastic experience but be prepared for the winter conditions.

Went in Dec 2024. Very open/windy place. Sunset was beautiful though.

Short stop with nice view. But very winding. Need to wear warmer cloth when cold season.

Great place to visit for a short walk with great views.

It was a pretty neat museum with interesting displays! But is small and has little english (?- see below). •Bottom line: if you have extra time in Abashiri (I'd say 90 minutes to include getting there), you should go. If you have to choose between this museum or the other 3 on the bus route (prison, northern peoples, drift ice), I'd say go to the other 3 (especially if you'll go to the northern peoples museum, the content is fairly similar and there's more to see there). I spent about 30 minutes in this museum (not including getting there). 🌐Another reviewer said there was an English audio guide included, but it was not offered to me, I only got the pamphlet with a small bit of information. That said, it was a pretty visual museum, so I think it would still be enjoyable to someone who doesn't understand Japanese, but being able to read some Japanese does help. 📖I was able to gather: the Moyoro people inhabited this area before the Ainu many centuries ago. They worshipped bears as gods, and buried their deceased with pots on their head. ❄️The archaeological grounds outside (free) are covered in snow in winter, so you can't walk to see them.

Worth a visit if you are interested in the history and culture of the northern people. Location may not be convenient without a car.

A small but very interesting museum. An English audio guide is included, which has a concise explanation of each exhibit. The short introductory video had an English option as well. Friendly staff too.

(Translated by Google) Visited on June 6, 2025. Adult admission is 300 yen, but with the "Abashiri Free Pass" coupon it's 270 yen. There is also a parking lot. If you take your time, it will take about 40 minutes to look around. The exhibits introduce the Moyoro Shell Mound and the Okhotsk culture. The highlights of the exhibits are the tusk statue of a woman and the bear statue. The basement floor introduces the discovery of the Moyoro Shell Mound and the excavated items from the shell mound. The first floor is a video introduction. The second floor has exhibits on the dwellings, rituals, fishing and hunting tools, equipment, meals, burials and grave goods, and trade at the Moyoro Shell Mound. If you go further up to the first floor, there is an exhibit of the burial area (located under the building). There is also a small museum shop. It is more detailed than the main building of the Abashiri City Local History Museum. (Original) 2025年6月6日に見学。 入場大人300円ですが、「あばしりフリーパス」のクーポンで270円になりました。 駐車場もあります。 じっくりみて見学時間は40分程度でしょうか。 展示は、モヨロ貝塚とオホーツク文化の紹介です。 展示品での目玉は、牙製婦人像やクマの像ですかね。 地下1階はモヨロ貝塚発見と貝塚出土品の紹介。 1階は映像紹介。 2階はモヨロ貝塚での住居、祭祀、漁猟・狩猟の道具、装具、食事、埋葬と副葬品、交易などの展示があります。 さらに1階へ進むと墓域の展示（建物の下にあります）があります。 小さいながらミュージアムショップもありました。 網走市立郷土博物館本館よりも詳細です。

(Translated by Google) This museum is adjacent to the Moyoro Shell Mound. It's positioned as a branch of the local history museum, but admission is 300 yen, higher than the main building. But it's worth it, as the facility, which was renovated and reopened in 2013, provides a clear and easy-to-understand introduction to the Moyoro people, the former inhabitants of the area around the Moyoro Shell Mound, and their cultural characteristics. The Moyoro people's culture is the Okhotsk culture, which is different from the culture of contemporary Honshu and the later Ainu culture. Many of its details are still shrouded in mystery. The museum is lined with models of the Moyoro people's exteriors, recreated dwellings, numerous excavated artifacts such as pottery, and even video footage, giving you a sense of understanding the mysterious Okhotsk culture. The exhibits were fascinating, but I was a little concerned about the low number of visitors, even though it was a Sunday during the summer holidays. (Original) モヨロ貝塚に隣接する博物館。郷土博物館の分館という位置づけですが、入館料は本館より高い300円。 でもそれだけのことはあり、2013年リニューアルオープンした施設は、モヨロ貝塚周辺のかつての住人（モヨロ人）とその文化の特徴を、見やすくわかりやすく伝えてくれます。 モヨロ人の文化は同時代の本州の文化、あるいは後のアイヌ文化とは異なるオホーツク文化。その詳細はまだ多くの謎に包まれているようです。 館内にはモヨロ人の外観模型や再現された住居、土器など数多くの発掘品、さらに映像ビデオなどが並んでおり、謎多いオホーツク文化の一端が理解できるような気がします。 興味深い内容でしたが、夏休み中の日曜日にもかかわらず、来館者が少ないのがちょっと気になりました。

(Translated by Google) Visited in June 2025. Ancient DNA analysis has revealed that, unlike the Wajin, the Ainu contain genes from not only the Jomon people but also the Okhotsk culture people who arrived from the north. This museum showcases the ruins and culture of the Okhotsk culture people, who could be considered one of the Ainu's ancestors. So, it's a must-visit for anyone interested in the Ainu. By the way, when I visited, there were only two other visitors, including me. So I was able to learn about the Okhotsk culture people in depth with the help of museum staff. (Original) 2025年6月来訪。 和人とは異なり、アイヌには縄文人に加え、北方からやってきたオホーツク文化人の遺伝子が含まれていることが古代DNA解析によって明らかになっています。 そのアイヌの祖先の一つとも言えるオホーツク文化人の遺跡とその文化を紹介しているのが本博物館。 なので、アイヌに興味のある方なら来訪必須の博物館です。 ちなみに私が訪れた時は拝観者が私含めて二人しかいませんでした。なので館員の説明をしていただきながらじっくりオホーツク文化人について学ぶことができました。

(Translated by Google) This museum is located next to the Moyoro Shell Mound. For an admission fee of 300 yen, you can learn about Okhotsk culture through hands-on experience. In the basement and the last space on the first floor, there are exhibits of real shell mound layers and jar graves, which are well worth seeing. This is a must-visit place to learn about Hokkaido's history and culture. (Original) モヨロ貝塚の隣にある博物館です。 入館料300円で、オホーツク文化を体験しながら知ることができます。 地下と一階の最後のスペースには、本物の貝塚の層だったり、甕のお墓なども展示されており、見応えがあります。 北海道の歴史や文化を知るために是非とも訪れたい場所です。

Unbelievable sunflower fields! Almost endless. Makes the 'famous' fields in Furano / Biei seem tiny in comparison! Words and pictures cannot even describe how large it is! Came on Oct 3rd.

Been there on Late September on a rainy day. It was really beautiful and the flowers were full bloomed.

A big area of sunflowers. Free entry.

Visited on 23/09/2025. Very pretty!

Arrived here just before the sunset. Beautiful sea of flowers with no other visitors :0)

Mid Jun visit. Nothing at all, looks like a construction site than a park. No flowers at all.

Nice big open sunflower field

120yen entrance fee, 2 stories of exhibition, finish in about 30mins top. Japanese wordings only. I use Google translate to view. Better to go to the Northern People Museum for a better experience.

(Translated by Google) This museum is located in a corner of Katsuragaoka Park. The building's innovative exterior was completed in 1936 (Showa 11) before the war, and it will soon be 90 years old. The museum was originally established to preserve materials from the Moroyo Shell Mound. Admission is charged 120 yen. The first floor of the museum is filled with stuffed specimens and models of animals, birds, and fish found in Abashiri and other parts of Hokkaido. The second floor houses exhibits on Abashiri's history and culture in general, including Ainu-related exhibits. The exhibition room, with its creaky floors, exudes a Showa-era atmosphere. Although there are many exhibits, there isn't much organized explanation, and the exhibits seem somewhat disorganized. A closer look reveals many valuable documents, but the old-fashioned display style may make it difficult for today's children to understand. (Original) 桂ヶ丘公園の一角に建つ博物館。斬新な外観の建物は戦前の1936年（昭和11年）竣工、間もなく築90年を迎える歴史があります。 もともとモロヨ貝塚の資料保管のために設立された博物館とのこと。 入館は有料（120円）です。 館内1Fには、網走ほか北海道で見られる動物や鳥、魚などの剥製や模型などが並んでいます。 2Fは網走の歴史や文化全般の展示で、アイヌ関連の展示もあります。 歩くと床がギシギシ鳴る展示室は、昭和の雰囲気を漂わせています。 展示品は多いものの系統だった説明はあまりなく、やや雑然と並べられた印象がぬぐえません。 よく見れば貴重な資料もたくさんあるのですが、なにぶんにも古色蒼然たる展示スタイルなので、現代の子供たちにはちょっととっつきにくいかもしれません。

Not able to visit on foot due to lack of signage and poor off line data.

(Translated by Google) Visited on June 7, 2025. It is about a 20-minute walk from Abashiri Bus Terminal. It is on top of a hill, so the second half of the walk is uphill. Admission fee is 120 yen for adults. The building was completed in 1936. It is said to be the first museum designed and constructed in Hokkaido. You can look up at the building's red dome from the town of Abashiri. The stained glass is beautiful, and the spiral staircase inside is also elegant. The floors creak because it is an old building. There are five exhibition rooms. The left side of the first floor introduces the geology of Abashiri and a large bird fossil (Hokkaidornis abashiriensis), and there are stuffed marine mammals and saltwater fish. The right side of the first floor displays stuffed mammals, birds, and freshwater fish. There is also an introduction to invasive species. The left side of the second floor is an exhibition about the Ainu. On the right side of the second floor, there are Jomon, Satsumon, and Okhotsk pottery, as well as displays of tools from each era. Highlights include statues of bears and sea animals made from their tusks. The back of the second floor is connected to the adjacent building, where displays of Abashiri's history and life history from the Meiji period to the Showa period are available. Toilets are located next to the entrance. (Original) 2025年6月7日に見学。 網走バスターミナルから徒歩で20分ほど。丘の上にあるので後半は上り坂です。 入場料大人120円。 建物は1936年竣工。北海道で博物館として初めて設計・建設されたそうです。 建物の赤いドームは網走の町からも見上げてみることができます。ステンドグラスが美しく、中の螺旋階段も瀟洒です。 古い建物なので床がきしみます。 展示室は5つあります。 1階左は、網走の地質と大型鳥類化石（ホッカイドルニス・アバシリエンシス）の紹介、海獣類と海水魚の剥製があります。 1階右は、哺乳類や鳥類、淡水魚の剥製。外来種の紹介など。 2階左は、アイヌに関する展示。 2階右は、縄文、擦文、オホーツク式土器があり、各時代の道具類展示もあります。牙製のクマや海獣の像がみどころ。 2階奥は隣接する建物につながっており、明治から昭和までの網走の歴史や生活史などが陳列されています。 トイレは入口脇にあります。

(Translated by Google) This was my first time there, and it was pretty great! The building itself was well worth seeing, and modern touches from the time were visible everywhere, and the interior was very stylish. There were numerous stuffed animals, as well as excavated pottery, nostalgic Showa-era family court tools, and information on the lives of Ainu people. The number of exhibits was incredible for just 120 yen!! It was so interesting!! (´(ｪ)｀)　I'm scared of the Bear White Owl (Original) 初めて行きましたがかなり良い！ 建物自体も見ごたえがあり、随所に当時のモダンな工夫が見られ、 かなりお洒落な館内です。 数多くの動物の剥製があると思うと、発掘された土器の数々、昭和の懐かしい家裁道具やアイヌの方々の生活についてなど、 １２０円の金額では考えられない程の展示の数でした！！ 面白かったー！！ (´(ｪ)｀)　クマノハクセイコワイ

(Translated by Google) Visited in June 2025. According to Wikipedia, the museum was founded in 1936 by Yonemura Kioye, who discovered the Moyoro Shell Mound, with the support of the Sumitomo zaibatsu to prevent the scattering of artifacts. The museum is surprisingly compact, and you'll finish your tour in no time. A wide variety of stuffed animals from Hokkaido are on display. Architecturally, the building, completed in 1936, is typical of this era, with beautiful designs influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright and Art Deco. The museum is enjoyable even just for the building, designed by Yoshiya Tagami, one of Hokkaido's leading architects. Among the exhibits are photographs of the city of Abashiri from the Taisho era, a time when the railway opened in Abashiri and the economy boomed during World War I (known as the "Aomame Boom"). It was also a time when agricultural migration to the surrounding wilderness dramatically increased, causing the population to skyrocket (from 6,000 to 30,000). (Original) 2025年6月来訪。 wikiによれば昭和11年、モヨロ貝塚を発見した米村喜男衛が資料の散逸を防ぐために、住友財閥の支援を受けて設立されたそう。 館内は、見た目と違ってコンパクトで、あっという間に見学は終わってしまいます。 北海道の動物の剥製が多種多様に展開されています。 建築的には、1936年竣工のこの時代の建物らしく、フランク・ロイド・ライトの影響やアールデコの影響を受けた意匠が美しい。北海道有数の建築家だったという田上義也設計の建物だけでも楽しめる博物館です。 展示の中には、大正時代の網走の街の写真があり、網走に鉄道が開通するとともに第一次世界大戦での好景気（青豆景気という）で沸いた時代だそう。周辺原野への農業移住も激増して人口が一気に増えた時代（6,000人→30,000人）でもあるとのこと。

(Translated by Google) This museum is located on a small hill in Abashiri city. It seems to be one of the oldest museums in Japan that still exists. The building was designed by a disciple of Wright. It is a historic building that has remained since the early Showa period. There is a wide variety of exhibits, including brown bears, sea lions, and fish. The giant leatherback turtle is from before the war. There is also a hut where the Ainu lived until before the war on display, and it's amazing that you can see it for just 120 yen. (Original) 網走市内の小高い丘にある博物館。 現存する中では、国内でもかなり古くからある博物館のようです。 建物はあのライトのお弟子さんが設計。 昭和初期から残っている歴史的建物。 展示もヒグマ、トド、魚など種類豊富。巨大なオサガメは戦前のもの。 戦前までアイヌが暮らしていた小屋も展示してあり、これが120円で見れるなんて素晴らしい。

(Translated by Google) Visit early in the morning before sightseeing on the drift ice. The approach path is a gentle slope, so I slipped and fell on the way back. Be careful during snowy season. There were very few worshipers in the early morning, so the precincts were very quiet. (Original) 流氷観光前に早朝お参り。参道は緩やかな坂道なので帰り道で滑って転びました。雪の時期は注意が必要です。早朝の参拝者はほとんどいないので、とても静かな境内でした。

(Translated by Google) It is located about a 3-minute drive from Roadside Station Ryuhyo Abashiri. There is parking for several cars. The shell-made approach to the shrine is unusual, so be sure to check your feet as well. Fortune-telling slips and amulets are also available at the shrine office. To request a goshuin (temple seal), please ring the intercom here. They also have clionella fortune-telling slips, which are very cute, so be sure to try one.

We went for a one-hour horse riding session with very friendly staff (booked online via email). He took tons of photos for us. We had so much fun! Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed that day, so we couldn't have lunch there. Still, stopping by for horse riding and enjoying the view was well worth it.

If you want to eat BBQ or Hot pot, this is a choice for you to go to this farm. The farm is near JR 藻琴 station. You can walk around 20mins up to the hill or ask for hotel staff to contact the farm for reservation and pick up service. It's free. The farm serves fresh and delicious meat and pork.

Good.

Nice hotpot

(Translated by Google) Enjoy horseback riding and some yakiniku. This is the perfect spot, brimming with Showa-era vibes. There are several different horseback riding courses available, and I tried the Lake Course and the Full-Enjoy Course. The Lake Course takes you from the ranch to nearby Lake Mokoto, then around the lake before returning. The key point is that it's on the lake, and on my experience, the horse waded through the reeds and onto the lakebed exposed by low tide. It's quite wild, as you might not be able to make it back to shore if you fall off (although there was an instructor on hand, so even children could handle it). The Full-Enjoy Course is 120 minutes long, so you can really enjoy horseback riding. It's a pretty wild course, taking you from the ranch through the hills, down to the river, and all the way to the coast. On the sandy coastline, you can trek along the water's edge while taking in the views of the Shiretoko Peninsula. If you're feeling ambitious, you can even try the Abarenbo Shogun style. On the Lake Course and Full Enjoyment Course, you can cross a crosswalk with a traffic light 🚥 while riding your horse. If you have a staff member take your photo here, you'll get a Beatles-inspired Abbey Road-style shot, which is highly recommended. One thing to note is that the instructor is a very nice guy, but since he lives in the great outdoors, he can be a bit wild and casual. So, it might be difficult for those who are more sensitive and meticulous. Of course, I had no trouble at all (or rather, I found his casualness to be quite comfortable). Honestly, all the yakiniku at the restaurant is delicious. You can't go wrong. The Sea of ​​Okhotsk stretches out before you, and when you open the window, a cool breeze blows in like a natural air conditioner. It may be commonplace for locals, but enjoying yakiniku while feeling the breeze from the Sea of ​​Okhotsk was a rare experience. If you're in Abashiri, there's no reason not to visit. This is that kind of spot. (Original) 乗馬をして焼肉を食べましょう。 昭和感あふれる最高のスポットです。 乗馬は何パターンかのコースが設定されており、私は湖コースと満喫コースを体験しました。 湖コースは牧場をから近くの藻琴湖まで馬でいき、湖の中をひと回りして帰ってくるコースです。湖の中というのがポイントで、私が体験した時は、葦原を掻き分けて干潮で露出した湖底部分をまで馬が歩いてくれました。落馬したら岸まで戻れないかも...と思うような感じなので結構ワイルドです（実際はインストラクターがいるので子供でも大丈夫でした）。 満喫コースは120分なので本当に乗馬を満喫できます。牧場から丘陵地を散歩して、川に降りて海岸まで進むというかなりワイルドなコースです。海岸沿いの砂浜では知床半島を見ながら波打ち際をトレッキングできます。腕に覚えがある方は、暴れん坊将軍も可能です。 湖コースと満喫コースでは、馬に乗った状態で信号機🚥がある横断歩道を渡ることができます。ここでスタッフの方に写真を撮ってもらうと、ビートルズのアビイ・ロード風の写真が撮れておすすめです。 注意点としては、インストラクターのおじさんは、とってもいい方ですが、大自然の中で生きている方なので、それなりにワイルドでアバウトです。なので、繊細で几帳面な方には難しい面もあるかもしれません。勿論、私は全然大丈夫でした（というよりもアバウトさが心地良かったです）。 レストランの焼肉は正直どれを食べても美味しいです。ハズレはありません。目の前にはオホーツク海が広がっており、窓を開けると自然のクーラーの様な冷たい風が吹き込んできます。地元の方にとっては当たり前かもしれませんが、オホーツク海の風を感じながらの焼肉はレアな体験でした。 網走に来たら行かない理由がない。そんなスポットです。

(Translated by Google) Horseback riding in Japan is truly relaxing! 🐴 Just sitting back and taking it easy, enjoying the natural scenery along the way is incredibly relaxing. The staff are also incredibly kind and take excellent care of the horses, making for a truly reassuring experience. Highly recommended for those who want to experience a relaxing and close connection with nature!

(Translated by Google) I love the character of the farm dad. He really feels like a typical Hokkaido dad. The 90-minute course was more than worth the price. If I have the chance, I'd definitely like to go again, but only while my dad, who's over 80 years old, is still in good health. (Original) 牧場のお父さんのキャラが好き ザ、北海道のお父さんって感じ 90分コース、お値段以上に楽しめました また行く機会があれば、確実に行きたいけど、80歳越えのお父さんが元気なうちだね

Outstanding place to visit! In June, comparing with many nearby parks where no flowers nor much birds can be seen, this place though small, is a major attraction with flowers, birds and even horses sighting.

Great spot for viewing wildlife. I saw a white tailed eagle - my first ever eagle! Staff were helpful even through the language barrier.

Went in the wrong season, hope can see birds next time.

City employee here can communicate in English!

Highly enjoyable experience 👍

Beautiful view

(Translated by Google) Hokkaido Ice Breaking Tour, DAY-3 Visit the Okhotsk Drift Ice Museum in the morning, and come to the Tōfutsu-ko Waterfowl and Wetland Center at noon to enjoy the wetland snow scenery and swans. Tōfutsu-ko is located between Abashiri City and Koshimizu Town in eastern Hokkaido. It is one of the important natural attractions in the eastern Hokkaido region and is part of the Abashiri Quasi-National Park. Tōfutsu-ko is a lagoon (a lake separated from the ocean by a sandbar), famous for its rich ecosystem and as a habitat for waterfowl. Tōfutsu-ko Waterfowl and Wetland Center is a facility dedicated to the protection and research of lake ecology. It is also an educational and tourist base for tourists to understand wetland ecology and watch wildlife. The center has large glass viewing windows, allowing you to observe bird activities on the lake in a warm and comfortable room, especially in the cold winter. The center provides several fixed high-magnification telescopes for free use by tourists. These telescopes allow you to clearly see the details of distant birds, such as their feather texture, beak shape, and even subtle movements.

Seems popular with the locals serving piping hot ramen. The signature Doro Ramen has a really thick broth, but it's not overpowering. Comes with bamboo shoots, charsiu, and seaweed. The Kuro Shio ramen on the other hand has a light soup, but it's topped with black garlic oil. Both ramen cost JPY900. The zangi with negi (JPY350 for 2 pieces) is crunchy with a nice tangy twist.

It’s a a Sunday in Winter and we lucked out chancing upon this traditional ramen outlet. We ordered Spicy, Shrimp and Pork ramen. Really tasty and good portion 👍

Delicious ramen. Highly recommend the dora ramen with chicken karage set which comes with 3 large pieces of karage and a side dish of tofu.

Small ramen shop. Tried the miso & shoyu favour. The ramen portion is good, fried chicken cutlet is a must order.

Everything is really heavy. We couldn't finish our ramen and had too much soup so we had to go home and have a nap. The fried chicken is pretty good as is the fresh egg on rice.

Awesome family, awesome portions and tastes! We will be back! Loved the miso especially. Lovely staff!

fantastic place. we had a bowl of Doro and bowl of Spicy, both were amazing treat

Best place to eat dinner or drink in abashiri. Kind and friendly people. But here is so famous to local people. So if you wanna go, you have to make a reservation before.

Accidentally found this hidden gem. - service is awesome - food is great and tasty

the young male dyed hair guy is handsome, nice with wonderful English to introduce me a cuisine ,

Amazing izakaya in Abashiri! Certainly one of the best places we ate at during our trip of Hokkaido, with an incredible vibe to match. The staff and owner were incredibly kind, suggesting the best local foods to try, like the 銀ガレイ and ホタテ. The emu served on the menu was also a delicious experience. We left sawa completely blown away by the all around quality we honestly did not expect - from the vibe to the food - that made for a fantastic night out. Special recognition to the owner who was happy for us to suggest jazz music to play in the izakaya! Will definitely be back if ever in Abashiri again.

Awesome restaurant with cool vibe and friendly staff and the food was amazing. Being vegan/vegetarian in Japan can be tricky but this place had amazing vegetable dishes as part of their menu featuring all local vegetables from Abashiri. I would definitely go back again

It seems not to serve tourists. Two Japanese girls before us looking at the menu outside and then entered the restaurant. A junior staff lead us to enter the restaurant later. Suddenly a senior staff told us "no seat" but there was many seats there. When we left , the junior staff said sorry to us.

Great place, fresh food, very kind and helpful people

(Translated by Google) If the drift ice is here, you can eat seafood bowl while looking at the drift ice. Seafood and souvenirs are sold in the same building. (Original) 流氷が来てれば、流氷を見ながら海鮮丼を食べられます。 同じ建物で海鮮、お土産が販売されている。

(Translated by Google) They offer free shipping on orders over 12,000 yen, so I thought I could just buy what I wanted even if it meant paying extra shipping, but it's quite expensive, so if I buy about three items, the shipping is free. The salmon roe bowl here was pretty tasty, although the portion was a little small. (Original) 12000円以上送料無料というので別に送料払っても欲しいものだけ買ったらいいやと思ってたけどなかなかの値段なので３つくらい買ったら送料無料になる🤭ここでのいくら丼はそこそこ美味しかった。量は少なめやったけど。

(Translated by Google) The scallop and salmon roe rice tastes good. The scallops are quite large. The seafood soup includes salmon fillets and scallops. The soup tastes good too. (Original) 干貝鮭魚卵飯味道還可以，干貝算大顆，海鮮湯有鮭魚片跟干貝，湯的味道也不錯

(Translated by Google) I went there on a tour. The seafood bowl was fresh and very delicious. After the meal, I bought some souvenirs at the shop next door. These were also delicious. (Original) ツアーで利用しました。 海鮮丼は新鮮でかなり美味しかったです。食後は併設店でお土産を購入しました。こちらも美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) The crab and salmon roe bowl with half a hairy crab was delicious👍 (Original) 毛ガニ半身付きのカニいくら丼美味しかった👍

(Translated by Google) I visited for lunch in early February. The seafood bowl was voluminous and satisfying. Next door, there is a wide variety of seafood souvenirs on display. You can also see the drift ice of Okhotsk from the parking lot. (Original) 2月の初旬に昼食のため訪問しました。海鮮丼はボリュウームがあり満足しました。となりは海産物のお土産が豊富に陳列されています。駐車場からはオホーツクの流氷も見られます。

(Translated by Google) I headed to the restaurant, but it seemed they only accepted group reservations so I couldn't get in. It was true that there was a small notice like that written on the edge of the official website, but I didn't know until I looked into it in more detail. Please be careful if you are going alone or without a reservation. (Original) レストランに向かいましたが、団体の予約客しか受け入れていないようで入れず。 確かに公式サイトの端の方に小さくそのようなことが書いてありましたが、詳しく調べてからでないと分かりません。 個人や予約なしで行こうとしている方は気を付けてください。

The service is good, they serve us better. Eventhough I'm foreigner and little bit speak Japanese they still understand. The food also good. Definetely I'll go again next trip. Arrigatou Gozaimasu

Delicious food with various menu options 😋

Breakfast Don is great, only costs 340 yen and include a great portion of ingredients. Takeaway doesn't include miso soup. Staff couldn't speak English. Can order via the machine with English language available.

Tried shave ice here while waiting for sightseeing bus. Friendly polite staff here even though they dont speak English!

The only restaurant opened under the heavy snow storm in the town.

Service: 4 Cleanliness: 4 Food taste: 3.5 Value of money: 3.5

I had a good curry here while waiting for my train to Nemuro.

Nice small museum that explains well the nordic ice drift in this part of Hokkaido

One of the best playgrounds in the world for free.

Really big and fun Could spend 2-3 hours there Near to prison museum

A lovely park to walk around even if you are not staying at the campground.

Super beautiful but small, unlike Farm Tomita.

Plenty of leisure facilities in natural environment, children will sure have lots of fun here. Parents have to spare more time for it.

This is a nice park but it's not the "Okhotsk Chipmunk Park" at Google says, it's just the "Okhotsk Park". The actual chipmunk park is called "オホーツクシマリス公園" and its address is "Japan, 〒099-2421 Hokkaido Prefecture, Abashiri, Yobito, ３５２".

View point. You get a better view on the top of the observatory.

Wonderful place to see this little angel fish creature.

Just soso

(Translated by Google) 2024.9, I visited for sightseeing. From the observation deck of Okhotsk Ryuhyokan, you can see Lake Abashiri and Lake Notoro to the west, as well as a 360-degree panoramic view of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk and the mountains of Shiretoko beyond the city of Abashiri. (Original) 2024.9,観光で訪れました。 オホーツク流氷館の展望台から西方には網走湖、能取湖が眺められ、網走市街地の先にオホーツク海、知床の山並みもパノラマのように360度見渡すことができます。

(Translated by Google) I will post this as a comment on my first visit to the "Tentozan Observatory" on June 19, 2025. Tentozan was named after the feeling of "ascending to the heavenly city." At an altitude of over 200m, it offers a panoramic view of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, Lake Abashiri, Lake Notoro, Lake Tofutsu, Lake Mokoto, and the Shiretoko mountain range. It was designated a national scenic spot in 1938 and is also part of the Abashiri Quasi-National Park. Tentozan Observatory is an integrated facility with the Okhotsk Ryuhyo Museum, and while the museum requires an admission fee, the Tentozan Observatory itself (the observation terrace on the 3rd floor of the Okhotsk Ryuhyo Museum) is free to use, and you can reach the observation deck by taking the elevator or stairs to the left of the reception desk after entering the main entrance of the building. (If you go to the right from the reception, you will find the paid Drift Ice Museum area, so if you know the division between free and paid areas, you won't be confused.) There are opening and closing times, but what's amazing is that it's "open all year round, even during the New Year holidays." It opens early on New Year's Day, and you can see the first sunrise from here. You can see the "Diamond Shari Mountain," which rises from the summit of Shari Mountain, also known as one of the 100 famous mountains, and the eastern sky, sea, and land all turn orange. If possible, I would like a space on the upper level so that I can see a complete 360-degree panorama from a fixed point without seeing the elevator room or staircase hall. (Original) 2025·R7.6.19初訪問、"天都山展望台"としてのコメントとして載せさせて頂きます。「天の都にのぼるような心地」ということから名付けられたという天都山、標高200m超で、オホーツク海,網走湖,能取湖,濤沸湖,藻琴湖,知床連山などが一望できます。1938·S13年に国の名勝に指定されていて、網走国定公園にも属しています。 天都山展望台はオホーツク流氷館と一体の施設で、オホーツク流氷館が有料であるのに対し、天都山展望台自体(オホーツク流氷館3Fの展望テラス)は無料で解放されていて、建物正面玄関を入った受付左側からエレベーター若しくは階段を利用することで展望台に行けます。(受付から右側に行くと有料の流氷館エリア、無料と有料のエリア分けがわかっていると戸惑わなくて済みます) 開館·閉館の時間の前後はありますが、"年中無休、年末年始も休みなし"というのがスゴいです。 元旦は早朝開館対応になっていて、ここから初日の出が拝めるとのことです。百名山としても知られる"斜里岳"の山頂から昇る、東の空·海·大地がすべてオレンジ色に染まる"ダイヤモンド斜里岳"が見られるそうです🤗。 出来れば、エレベーター室や階段ホールが目に入らないような、定点で完全な360度パノラマを見られるようにもう一段上のスペースが欲しいとこですね😚🙏。

(Translated by Google) I had some time, so I decided to visit. I went there without any particular reason, but it's so beautiful! I heard it's one of the 100 famous mountains, wife. If I had to choose, I'd like to find a spot with a 360° panoramic view. There are some shady spots on the road on the way to Mt. Tentsu, so be careful of ice at this time of year (I slipped). (Original) 時間がありましたので、訪問。 何の気なしに行ったけれど、とても美しいだぜ〜〜。 百名山なんですって、奥さん。 敢えて望むなら、360°パノラマの眺望が見れるポイントがあると嬉しいな。 天都山へ向かう途中の道路は日当たりが悪い所があり、これからの時期は凍結注意です(滑った)。

(Translated by Google) It's a very quiet campsite. I went there yesterday, Friday, and it was pretty empty! You can't enter the campsite until 1pm after checking in. The grass is short and it's a very beautiful place. (Original) 非常に静かなキャンプ場です昨日金曜日に行きましたがかなり空いてます❗️キャンプ場の受付後午後１時にならないと入場出来ません、芝も短くかなり綺麗な所です。

Still very nice although just starting to die off as at 2023/9/11. Free entry.

Visited on 11 Jun. There is no flower field yet. The staff are still preparing the field.

It's a quiet flower park, and very beautiful. You can take a short stroll down from Mt Tento.

Beautiful display of flower in a compact area. It's an easy walk.

No flowers yet

Beautiful

Not worth the visit

A beautiful place to have snow activities on the lake. Fishing is not easy, but interesting, though.

It's full of snow on winter and fun for ice Fishing

Need to aware the timing of visit as thick mist can block the view

(Translated by Google) I passed by by bus in early March. On one side, a silver world covered with snow spreads out, and it is different from usual. For people who aren't in Hokkaido, the sense of scale is overwhelming. As far as the eye can see, the world is covered in ice forever. A transparent feeling, surrounded by magnificent nature. Masu. Smelt fishing tents were scattered here and there, and there were many people enjoying their leisure time. (Original) 3月初旬に路線バスで通りました。 一面、雪に覆われた銀世界が広がっており、普段から 道内にいない人にとっては圧倒的なスケール感です。 見渡す限り、延々と氷に覆われた世界が続くために 透き通る感覚というか、壮大なネイチャーに包まれ ます。 ワカサギ釣り用のテントが所々に点在しており、レジャーを楽しまれてる人たちも多々おられました。

(Translated by Google) I use this campsite every summer. It's a great place to camp for free, surrounded by beautiful scenery. Because it's free, the toilets are Japanese-style and not very clean, but they do have a kitchen, which is helpful. I'm always impressed by the beautiful sunsets. However, since it's by the lake, there are quite a lot of mosquitoes...I was bitten. There are a lot of motorbikes there. Also, since it faces the road, it's not very quiet...I might choose a different campsite from next year. (Original) 毎年夏にキャンプで利用。 美しい景色の中無料のキャプ場という事で重宝しています。 無料ゆえにトイレは和式であまり綺麗ではなかったりしますが炊事場もあり親切です。 いつも綺麗な夕陽に感激。 でも湖畔なのでなかなか蚊が多く…やられました。 バイクの方が多いです。 また道路に面しているのであまり静かではないかな…来年からは違うキャンプ場にするかもです。

(Translated by Google) There are no photos from the car window, but the evening view was very beautiful. During the Obon holiday, there were many riders at the campsite in the morning. (Original) 車窓からで写真がないですが、夕景がとても美しかったです。お盆休み、朝のキャンプ場にはライダーがたくさんでした。

(Translated by Google) This is the lakeside where Higashino and Okamura played with salmon and ate their lunch in Tabizaru 2 "A trip to secret hot springs by canoe on Lake Kussharo in Hokkaido". It's not a famous tourist spot so transportation is inconvenient, but we decided to walk there when returning to Memanbetsu Airport from the Abashiri Prison Museum. The bus stop is in front of the tourist hotel, and it's about a 40-minute walk from the museum, so we waited a bit for the bus to Memanbetsu Airport to arrive. (Original) 旅猿2 「北海道・屈斜路湖 カヌーで行く秘湯の旅」で東野さんと岡村さんが、鮭と戯れてお弁当を食べた湖畔です。 有名な観光スポットではないので交通の便が悪いですが、博物館網走監獄から女満別空港に戻る際に歩いて行ってみました。 バス停は観光ホテル前になり博物館から歩いて40分程度で女満別空港行のバスが来るまでちょっと黄昏てみました。

This patisserie is a perfect example of modern interior design, pastry aesthetics and efficient operations. While visually impressive, the actual product quality doesn't quite match the price, which is on the high side. Service is of a consistently high standard, although there was a minor misstep when the self-serve water station was left uncleaned and unavailable - eventually rectified. The atmosphere has an upmarket charm that attracts a refined clientele, but remains welcoming to first-time visitors.

Stopped by this cafe which is located conveniently along the way to my next destination. Upon arrival, the cafe was full, so I opted for a takeout of their strawberry cake and coffee. I must say that the strawberry cake was one of the best I've ever had! It had the perfect balance of sweetness and the cream was light and didn't make me feel sick. The coffee was decent, but nothing out of the ordinary. The cafe is clean and cozy with friendly staff. Overall, it was a pleasant stop for a quick bite.

The cakes are amazing. I actually visited this place twice. I tried the Mont Blanc (chestnut) and the milliecrepe. You can also ordered coffee and tea as there are seating area within the shop as well as outside. I reckon there are about 20 parking space lot.

We passed by here after visiting prison museum. It’s very cute shop and the staff is friendly. Highly recommended!

Ice cream highly recommended, the cakes and baked goods were just fine. Cute shop.

Wonderful cakes. Lovely outdoor seats.

Great sweets place overlooking Abashiri Lake! Various really nice cake flavors but not too sweet either, just the right balance. Banana chocolate mousse would be my suggestion 😃👍Great service ❤

Spacious and bright place. Great for late night food if you are looking for food after 8pm as it closed at midnight. Portion maybe a bit small but just nice for me. Average spent about JPY 2500 per person. Had steak which was not too bad though no option to choose how well the steak to be done. Didn't choose the buffet salad.

I LOVE EVERYTHING about this place. Never seen a place which includes GRAPES in the salad bar tabehoudai?!!! The steak is always warm because your plate comes with a small cute thing where you can “fry” it more yourself.

We had great food nice thick steak cooked rare and juicy burgers and ebi fry

Little steak house by the train station. Incredible value, food was great. Salad bar was a knock out, and the coffee jelly was fantastic.

Reasonable priced steak and grills. The restaurant itself is pretty close to the station and they open until late at night, which is really convenient for a person who arrives by the last train.

Worth stopping there for a quick photo shoot and if you feel like it a train ride on the magical shoreline.

Actually impressively good for a family restaurant. Staff was ultra friendly and the food was quality.
