This year marks the 60th Tomakomai Skating Festival.
The highlight is shibare-yaki, a Jingisukan grilled outdoors below freezing (the Hokkaido dialect shibareru means cold).
Cooked on grills made from repurposed drum cans, seasoned Jingisukan tastes exceptional with a beer.
Another favorite with kids is the large ice slide.
Tomakomai’s signature winter festival, the Tomakomai Skating Festival, takes place this year on Saturday, February 7 and Sunday, February 8, 2026.⛸
