Jewelry Ice 2025
Jewelry Ice · Harunire Tree Adventure Experience 😊
“Jewelry Ice” refers to chunks of ice that break free from the Tokachi River, drift out to the Pacific, and wash up on the Otsu Coast at the river mouth.
Their beauty as they sparkle in the sunlight is utterly mysterious ✨
Why not come see this natural phenomenon of Tokachi’s severe cold and the Tokachi River known as “Jewelry Ice”?
The second photo shows the state of the Jewelry Ice from yesterday 🎵
At the rest area we offer warm drinks, shells and Jewelry Ice goods, and local seafood, so please drop by if you like 😄
This plan also includes a visit to Toyokoro’s symbolic tree, the Harunire Tree 🌳

You will walk across the frozen lake for about 4 km (approximately 2 hours 30 minutes).🎵
