Introducing the photos posted on "Minna no Post"!

This is a pickup post on the inbound tourism information SNS "COOL JAPAN VIDEOS".
Today, I would like to introduce "YUTO's post "Hokkaido Monbetsu, shooting with crab claws in the background, a tourist attraction".

The sparkle of jewelry ice cream is fantastic.

Monbetsu City, Hokkaido, which faces the Sea of Okhotsk, is based on agriculture, forestry, and seafood processing in addition to fishing.
Monbetsu City's hometown tax return goods, which are rich in seafood, are also talked about because you can get large scallops.

Monbetsu City is also famous for drift ice docking in winter.
The drift ice cruise of the drift ice breaker "Garinko-go", which moves forward while crushing drift ice, is very powerful! It is also popular with tourists.

There are plenty of sightseeing spots in the vicinity as well as drift ice.
The "Crab Claw Statue" object, which is also a popular photo spot near Monbetsu Port, is 12 meters high, 6 meters wide, and weighs 7 tons.
It was made during the "Drift Ice Art Festival" held in 1983 (Showa 58).
The Okhotsk Tokkari Center, where you can interact with seals, and the Hokkaido Okhotsk Drift Ice Science Center GIZA, a science center, are also recommended for sightseeing in Monbetsu City.

The jewelry ice cream in the photo is the drift ice that washed up on the beach.
It is not just a block of ice, but is characterized by high transparency. It varies depending on the weather conditions, but the best time to see it is usually around mid-January ~ early March.
It is mainly found in the Tokachi River in Hokkaido and is popular with photographers because it can take photogenic photos.
Tours are also held early in the morning when the jewelry ice is launched.
