I have long wanted to experience the drift ice. I searched for various tours, but they all seemed a bit overwhelming for us, as we are older. Then I found your company's Abashiri tour, which allowed us to board the Aurora drift ice ship and enjoy a compact winter sightseeing experience in Abashiri. It was a satisfying journey. While having a lot of activities is nice, I also appreciate a focused approach that fulfills specific wishes.
かねてから、流氷を体験したいと思っていました。
色々なツアーを探しましたが、いずれも盛りだくさんで
高齢な私たちには、ちょっときついかなあと躊躇していた時
貴社の網走ツアーを見つけました、念願の流氷船オーロラ号乗船と、コンパクトに冬の網走を観光でき、満足満足の旅でした。盛りだくさんもいいけど、一点主義で希望が叶うたびも良いです。

天候は私たちの外出の日には理想的ではなく、激しい雪が降っていました。そのため、目的地は森の散策に変更されましたが、雪の冬に慣れていない人々にとっても素晴らしい体験でした。ガイドはフレンドリーで、道中に彼自身の体験を共有してくれました。全体的に、楽しい外出で、私たちは自然の中での時間を心から楽しみました。
The weather wasn’t ideal on the day of our outing, as it was snowing heavily. Hence our destination was changed to a walk through the forest, which was also a great experience—especially for those not accustomed to snowy winters. Our guide was friendly and shared his personal experiences along the way. Overall, it was a pleasant outing, and we both thoroughly enjoyed our time in nature.

We gathered at Kanazawa Station at 8 AM, and the bus was mostly filled with foreign tourists. It was an older sightseeing bus, and there was no restroom.
Since we arrived early, there weren't many people around, and the snowy scenery was charming. After a while, it became crowded with foreign tourists, which surprised me.
As soon as we arrived, we had free time. I hurriedly walked to the farthest point while taking photos. I couldn't stroll around because of the time constraints, so personally, I wished I had a bit more time.
For lunch, we had a healthy course meal with plenty of wild vegetables at a restaurant with the tour group. The portion was small, but it was just right for me. The grilled meat on the magnolia leaf was very delicious.
When we arrived at the second location, Gokayama, the snow started to fall heavily. There were hardly any people here, and it was quiet and picturesque. I preferred this place more.
Finally, the cheerful smile of the bus guide, who provided explanations in both English and Japanese with some humor, was great. I was satisfied to be able to visit the snowy Shirakawa-go and Gokayama!

着いてすぐフリータイム。急ぎ足であちこち写真撮りながら一番端っこまで歩く。時間がないのでブラブラはできず、個人的にはもう少し時間欲しかったかな。
ランチはツアーの人とレストランでヘルシーな山菜多めのコース料理。量は少なめだけど、私にはちょうど良い。朴葉焼のお肉がとてもおいしかった。

I participated in this tour on February 23, 2025. The explanations provided by the bus guide at key points were very helpful. We were fortunate with the weather we were worried about and were able to see the drift ice at just the right time. The drift ice from the Aurora was breathtaking. I was moved by the transformation of the sea surface from lotus-shaped ice to rugged drift ice as we set sail. The view of the ship moving through the expanse of drift ice was so stunning that I almost forgot the cold and spent most of the time outside watching.
We were also able to efficiently visit places like Abashiri Prison and the Okhotsk Drift Ice Museum! I was scared to drive a rental car in winter, so I was glad to use this service. It’s a recommended tour that allows you to enjoy sightseeing in Abashiri in just one day!

The winter of 2025 saw a late arrival of the drift ice, and before participating in the tour, I was a bit anxious, thinking, "Maybe I won't be able to see the drift ice..." However, on the day of the tour, I was lucky enough to see the drift ice, making it a truly fortunate experience.
I boarded the morning cruise of the Aurora icebreaker, but I had seen reviews mentioning that "there are many foreign tourists, and it's lively," which made me a little concerned. However, since it was the morning cruise, the atmosphere was relatively calm, and I was able to enjoy the drift ice cruise. I suspect that if it had been a later cruise, there would have been more group tourists, making it quite lively.
Additionally, there were many foreign tourists on the sightseeing train, the Drift Ice Story, and among the tour participants, everyone was well-mannered, allowing us to visit the sightseeing spots on schedule, which left a good impression. It seemed that transportation methods like buses were quite crowded due to the influx of tourists, so I felt it was the right decision to book a tour that allowed for smooth sightseeing without the hassle of transportation.
The view of the drift ice from Cape Notoro was particularly breathtaking. It was a magnificent sight, as if the drift ice was packed all the way to the horizon, making me forget the cold as I gazed at it. The visits to the Abashiri Prison Museum and the Okhotsk Drift Ice Museum were also fulfilling, providing a valuable opportunity to learn about history and nature.
It was a highly satisfying tour that allowed me to fully enjoy the charm of winter in Abashiri!
2025年の冬は流氷の到着が遅く、ツアー参加前は「もしかしたら流氷が見られないかも…」と不安に思っていました。しかし、当日は運よく流氷を見ることができ、まさにラッキーな体験となりました。
流氷砕氷船おーろら号の朝イチの便に乗船しましたが、乗船前に「外国人観光客が多く賑やか」という口コミを見かけていたので少し気になっていました。ただ、朝の便だったこともあり、比較的落ち着いた雰囲気で流氷クルーズを楽しむことができました。おそらく、もう少し遅い時間の便だと団体客が増え、かなり賑やかになっていたのではないかと思います。
また、観光列車の流氷物語号やツアーの参加者にも海外からの観光客が多くいましたが、皆さんマナーが良く、スケジュール通りに観光地を巡れた点も好印象でした。インバウンドの影響でバスなどの移動手段はかなり混雑していたようなので、移動の手間なくスムーズに観光できるツアーに申し込んで正解だったと感じました。
特に圧巻だったのは能取岬からの流氷の景色です。まるで水平線までびっしりと流氷が詰まっているような壮大な光景が広がり、寒さを忘れて見入ってしまいました。博物館網走監獄やオホーツク流氷館の見学も充実しており、歴史や自然について学べる貴重な機会でした。
冬の網走の魅力をたっぷり堪能できる、大満足のツアーでした!
I think it would be good to check if the year you participate is a year with a lot of drift ice!

Thank you for participating in our tour. This year, Shirakawa-go was hit by more than 1 meter of heavy snowfall, which is more than usual. I see you visited the inn that was a filming location for a drama. It’s quite large, and recently not many people visit, so you found it well. The main street is bustling with many people, but the side streets have several inns and are quiet, allowing you to leisurely stroll through the snowy Shirakawa-go.

I participated on February 23rd. I was so happy to have beautiful weather with clear skies and no wind. I took the bus from Abashiri Station at 8:30 and first boarded the Aurora. This year, the drift ice arrived later than usual, and I was very anxious about whether I would see it when I went to Abashiri, but it arrived on February 15th, and I was able to see it safely. I was able to witness the beauty of nature. The Aurora moves through the ice, and this is an experience you can only have on the ship. There were many international visitors on board as well. It was moving, and it was worth coming to the Okhotsk region. I think it's a landscape you should see at least once in your lifetime.
Next, I went to Abashiri Prison, but there wasn't enough time. The way the exhibits were presented was good, but time was limited. I would like to see it again if I have the chance. I also rode the Drift Ice Story train from Kitahama Station to Abashiri, and I could see the drift ice from the train. I visited the Okhotsk Drift Ice Museum and Cape Notoro, and the seafood bowl for lunch was delicious. It was a perfect tour. The bus guide, Mr. Nanbu, was very nice, and at the end, he sang "The Sea of Okhotsk" by Chiharu Matsuyama a cappella. Thank you, Abashiri Bus.
私が参加したのは2/23。
本当に快晴で風もなく良いお天気に恵まれて嬉しい限りです。
8時半に網走駅くらバスに乗り、まずはおーろら号に乗船。今年は例年になく、流氷の着岸が遅く、私が網走に行くときに流氷はあるのかとても不安でしたが、2/15に着岸し、無事に見ることができました。自然の素晴らしさを見ることができました。流氷を砕氷しながら進むおーろら号。船に乗らないと体験できないです。海外の方もたくさん乗られてました。感動的でオホーツクに来た甲斐がありました。一生に一度は見てみたい風景だと思います。
次に行った網走刑務所は時間が足りなかった。展示の仕方も上手ですが、時間が足りない。きかいがあればまた見てみたい。
北浜駅→網走駅の流氷物語号にも乗れて、列車からも流氷が見えました。オホーツク流氷館、能取岬も回ってもらえてお昼の海鮮丼も美味しかったし、いうことなしのツアーでした。バスガイドの南部さんがとてもよい方で、最後にアカペラで松山千春の「オホーツクの海」を歌って下さりました。網走バス、ありがとう。

The guide was an excellent person who was fluent in English, Chinese, and Korean. They distributed maps and provided detailed explanations to each individual, which was very kind and greatly appreciated. The other guests were quiet and punctual, and although there was a bit of a traffic jam waiting for parking at the entrance to Shirakawa-go, we were able to get through quickly, which was good.
However, it was disappointing that while the two-hour exploration of Takayama was nice, two hours in Shirakawa-go was not enough, and I couldn't make it to the observation deck. The shuttle bus had a long line, and I tried to walk but ended up taking the wrong path. If the tour can't be extended due to the driver's working hours, I think it would be better to have an hour and a half in Takayama and two and a half hours in Shirakawa-go.

A few days ago, I was worried about the tour due to heavy snowfall, but I felt relieved when I received a confirmation SMS the day before. The driver was well-trained and provided a lot of helpful information. Unlike group tours, I had the freedom to choose where to go and the timing, which was great.
数日前まで大雪とのことだったので催行が心配でしたが、前日確認のSMSが来て安心でした。ドライバーの方はきちんと研修を受けているそうで、いろいろな情報を教えていただき助かりました。団体ツアーと違い、行きたいところや時間など自由になり、とても良かったです。
Dear TSUNAMI, thank you very much for using our sightseeing taxi service again. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Shirakawa-go with our driver. We would be happy to serve you again on your next visit.
TSUNAMI様、この度は弊社観光タクシーを再度ご利用いただき誠にありがとうございました。弊社乗務員とともに、白川郷観光を楽しんでいただけたようで安心いたしました。またお越しの際はご利用いただけますと幸いです。

It was really great overall because there were various places to explore. I wish I could have arrived a little later; I would have liked another 30 minutes at Abashiri Prison.
色々と見て回れるので、全般的にすごく良かったです。
到着をもう少し遅らせて網走監獄は後30分欲しいかな。
You can visit the famous sights in just one day, so it's recommended for first-timers!
1日で名所巡りが出来るので、初めてにはオススメ!

It's extremely difficult to capture whales with a smartphone or camera, so it's best to give up quickly and leave the photography to the staff. They will upload the photos for you. I'm impressed by the remarkable shots they managed to take, such as the small whale jumping and the photo of the mother whale's tail.
スマホやカメラでクジラを撮影するのは至難の業なので、さっさと諦め撮影はスタッフに任せるのが正解です。写真はアップしてもらえます。このタイミングの写真がよく撮れたなと感心する小クジラのジャンプの写真や親クジラの尾の写真など印象的なシーンの写真がアップされていて驚きです。
Recommendation: Motion sickness medication is essential.
It took about an hour to find the mother and baby whales, and we were traveling at high speed, so it was very bumpy. Some people were vomitin
リコメンド:酔い止めは必須です。
親子クジラを見つけるまで約1時間、高速で航行していたので、すごく揺れました。何人か吐いてました。行きは、打ち寄せる波に向かって進むので揺れます。

I had heard beforehand that we might see a jump once for every ten attempts, so I gave up and was busy filming the baby whale's tail slap when suddenly it jumped out from the back, causing everyone to go wild (laughs).
It miraculously jumped right when I had my phone ready, and I was able to capture its jumping姿.
I could feel the staff's desire to entertain us. Thank you very much. I hope to come back next year if I can.
事前にジャンプは10回きたら1回見られるかなとお話しされてたので、諦めて子クジラのテールスラップを撮影してたら奥からドーンと飛び出してきてみんなで大騒ぎになりました(笑)
携帯構えてるところでジャンプしてくれて奇跡的にジャンプ姿をおさめる事ができました。
スタッフさんも楽しませてあげようという想いが伝わってきました。ありがとうございました。また来年、行けたらいいな。

I took a one-hour cruise from 1:00 PM. This year, due to the mild winter, the drift ice was delayed, and during the reservation confirmation call the day before, I was told that "the drift ice hasn't arrived yet," so I thought I might not be able to see it. However, on the day of the cruise, I was lucky to see the drift ice for the first time this season. The weather was also nice, and I could clearly see Kunashiri Island.
While waiting to board, a staff member recommended some great spots inside the boat, allowing me to feed the Steller's sea eagles and see the drift ice up close.
My friends who joined from the Kanto region were also delighted, making it a truly wonderful experience.
13:00〜の1時間クルーズに乗船しました。
今年は暖冬で流氷が遅れており、前日の予約確認のお電話では「流氷がまだ来ていない」とのことで見られないかもしれないと思っていましたが、当日はシーズンで初めて流氷を見れてラッキーでした。
お天気も良く、はっきりと国後島も見られました。
乗船前に並んでいたときにスタッフさんに船の中でオススメの場所を教えてもらえたので、オオワシへの餌やりや流氷を目前で見ることができました。
関東から参加した友人たちも喜んでくれていたので、とても素晴らしい体験となりました。
I think it's good to have sunglasses on nice days. Also, the view is great when you go out to the deck, but it's very cold... If you line up early, you can get a good spot on the ship (on the outside

This time, I was disappointed that there were no signs of drift ice. I guess late February to mid-March might have been better. The Aurora was operating on a shortened schedule, so there was no refund. While I would be excited just to ride the Garinko, the Aurora is more like a ferry that circles the bay, so the scenery wasn't that impressive, and the shortened time left me a bit dissatisfied, but since I had already made the reservation, it couldn't be helped. I enjoyed the atmosphere while drinking drift ice beer from the onboard shop. The tour was satisfying as it efficiently covered various places, not just the Aurora. The tour guide's explanations and highlights were excellent, making my time in Abashiri enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour without any disappointments.
今回は流氷には影も形もお目に描かれず残念でした。やはり2月下旬から3月半ば辺りが良かったのかな。オーロラ号には乗船短縮運航となりましたので返金は無し。ガリンコ号とかなら乗るだけでもワクワクしますがオーロラ号はフェリーのようなもので湾内をまわるのて景色もそれほどでもなく時間短縮なのでちょっと不満感つのりますがそれもアリで予約してるので仕方ありません。船内販売の流氷ビール飲みながら雰囲気だけでも味わいました。ツアーにはオーロラ号だけでなくいろんなところが効率よく回れるので満足でした。ツアーガイドのお話や見どころ案内が非常に良く網走を楽しく回れました。ハズレのないおすすめツアー。
Even if the drift ice is close to shore, it may not be visible depending on the wind direction, so I participated with that understanding. Even if we can't see the drift ice, we can efficiently explor
流氷は接岸してても風向きで見られないこともあるので納得しての参加、万一流氷見れなくても網走満遍なく回れるので個人で回るより効率良くおすすめ

Initially, I had planned to take a highway bus, but there were no available seats, so I used this service for the first time. They picked me up at the station and dropped me off right in front of the hotel, which made it very convenient as I didn't have to worry about my luggage. I hadn't done much research beforehand, but I was guided to recommended places and shops, allowing me to experience locations I wouldn't have visited on my own, which was a lot of fun. The female driver was very chatty and even took photos for me, making for an enjoyable time.
当初高速バスの予定でしたが空席がなくこちらを初めて利用しました。
駅に迎えに来てもらい、ホテルの目の前まで送ってもらえるので、荷物を預ける必要がなく、とても楽でした。また、事前にあまり調べていませんでしたが、おすすめの場所・お店をガイドしてもらい、自分たちだけだと行かない場所や経験ができて、とても楽しかったです。
女性ドライバーさんでしたが、たくさんお話をしてくださり、写真も撮ってもらえて、楽しい時間でした。
During the snowy season, it seems that there may be road closures due to the weather, which can prevent access.
雪の季節は天候によっては道路封鎖などあり、行けない場合があるみたいです。
Thank you very much for using our sightseeing taxi service again for your trip with your friend. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Shirakawa-go with our driver. We would be happy to serve you again on your next visit.

The day I participated, the weather was nice, and I was very satisfied because I could see the drift ice. When the weather is good, you can enjoy the views from the Drift Ice Museum's observation deck and Cape Notoro. I recommend the seafood bowl for lunch.
私が参加した日は天気が良く、流氷も見れたので非常に満足度が高かった。天候が良いと流氷館の展望台や能取岬での景色を楽しむことが出来る。昼食は海鮮丼がおすすめ。
I didn't have enough time at Abashiri Prison. Since there wasn't enough time to see everything at a leisurely pace, I had to narrow down the places I wanted to visit and look around quickly.
網走監獄の時間は足りなかった。ゆっくり全部を見れる時間はないため、行きたいところを絞ってサクサク見る形になる。

Both the guide and the driver were kind.
Gokayama Ainokura had almost no other tourists besides us, allowing for a quiet and very moving sightseeing experience. I highly recommend visiting.
The shuttle bus to the Shirakawa-go observation deck was suspended in the morning due to an avalanche on the pathway. The guide provided detailed information on when to take the shuttle bus to ensure we could reach the observation deck in time for the return bus, which allowed us to tour efficiently.
In February, Shirakawa-go is very crowded, and those who want to enjoy a leisurely meal inside may not have enough time to visit the observation deck. I bought food that I could eat while waiting in line for the shuttle bus.
It was also nice that the bus seats were assigned. On tours without assigned seating, the auxiliary seats are often overflowing with foreign tourists, making it quite cramped.
ガイドさんドライバーさん共に優しかったです。
五箇山相倉は我々以外の観光客が殆どおらず、静かに観光できてとても感動的でした。是非行ってみて頂きたいです。
白川郷の展望台に向かうシャトルバスの通路が午前中に雪崩が起き運行中止となり、再開時刻や帰りのバスに間に合うように展望台へ向かうには何時までのシャトルバスに乗ったら良いか等、細かい情報をガイドさんがお知らせしてくれたので効率良く観光できました。
2月白川郷は大変混んでおりゆっくり店内で食事したい方は展望台に行く時間は足りない可能性があります。私は食べ歩きできる物を買って食べながらシャトルバスの列に並びました。
バスの席が決まってるのも良かっです。決まってないツアーのバスだと補助席まで外国人観光客で溢れかえっててかなりキツイです。

I participated in a tour of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama. I was a bit anxious about the bus ride, which took over an hour one way, but thanks to our guide's interesting stories, the well-organized itinerary, souvenir information, and the driver's safe driving, I was able to enjoy an efficient and worry-free visit. This time, we experienced heavy snowfall and deep snow, but I would love to join again in a different season to see the changing expressions throughout the year. It was a wonderful tour. Thank you very much.
白川郷、五箇山のツアーに参加しました。片道1時間超のバス移動は少し不安でしたが、ガイドさんの興味深いお話しと見学コースの組み立て方やお土産情報、ドライバーさんの安全運転のおかげで安心して効率的な見学を楽しむことができました。今回は大雪で深い積雪の中の見学でしたが、別の季節もぜひまた参加して、四季折々の表情を見てみたいです。素晴らしいツアーでした。ありがとうございました。

I participated in this bus tour, but unfortunately, the service was very poor, and I cannot recommend it.
1. Tour Guide's Response
The tour guide was Chinese and had limited Japanese skills, making communication difficult. Additionally, they seemed inexperienced with the tour's progression, and information sharing about meeting places and times was insufficient.
2. Mistake in Meeting Place Guidance
There was no announcement regarding the meeting place or itinerary changes, and we ended up waiting in the wrong location. Afterward, we headed to the correct meeting place, but the bus ended up passing by the original location where we were waiting. If there had been an explanation when I called about the delay, we wouldn't have needed to move unnecessarily. It was very challenging to rush down a crowded street with a small child in the snow and poor footing.
3. Impact of Other Participants' Delays
Other participants arrived significantly late, causing a major delay (about 2 hours). By the time we reached our destination, many shops were closed, ruining the sightseeing experience. The return home was also quite late, which was particularly tough for those with children.
4. Poor Balance Between Cost and Service
I booked this tour because it was cheaper compared to other bus tours, but even at a low price, such poor management is unsatisfactory. Unfortunately, this is a tour I cannot recommend.
I hope for improvements, but as it stands, I cannot consider using this service again.
今回、こちらのバスツアーに参加しましたが、残念ながら非常に対応が悪く、参加をおすすめできません。
1. 添乗員の対応
添乗員の方は中国人の方でしたが、日本語があまりできず、意思疎通が困難でした。加えて、ツアーの進行にも不慣れな様子で、集合場所や時間等情報共有が不十分でした。
2. 集合場所の案内ミス
集合場所や行程変更の案内がなく、私たちは誤った場所で待機することに。その後、正しい集合場所に向かいましたが、結局バスが元々私たちがいた場所を通過する形に。遅れてしまうことをお電話した際に説明があれば無駄に移動する必要はなかったのに、雪が降り足元の悪い中、小さな子どもを連れて混雑した道を急ぐ羽目となり、とても大変でした。
3. 他の参加者の遅刻による影響
他の参加者が大幅に遅れて到着したため、予定より大幅に遅延。(約2時間遅れ)目的地に着いた頃には閉まっている店も多く、せっかくの観光が台無しに。帰宅時間もかなり遅くなり、特に子連れには厳しい状況でした。
4. コストとサービスのバランスが悪い
他のバスツアーと比較して料金が安かったため予約しましたが、安いとはいえ、ここまでお粗末な運営では満足できません。残念ながら、参加をおすすめできないツアーでした。
改善を期待したいですが、今のままでは再利用は考えられません。
Dear Shirakawa,
I sincerely apologize for the negative experience you had.
It is true that many unexpected events occurred that day, and I do not intend to make excuses, but I would like to explain the circumstances.
1. The staff on that day were not very proficient in Japanese, which made communication difficult. There was a mistake regarding the bus stop when we gathered in the morning.
2. Due to heavy snowfall in the days leading up to your visit, Shirakawa-go experienced traffic congestion, and on that day, there was an accident causing a traffic jam at the Shirakawa-go Tunnel. It was a mistake to drop you off at a different location to avoid delays. With customers from various countries, it was rash to make the decision to disembark without being able to explain properly to each individual.
We will strengthen our management and training moving forward.
I truly empathize with your feelings and once again, I apologize.
しらかわ様、悪い経験をさせてしまい、大変申し訳ございません。 その日、たくさんのハプニングが起こったのは事実で、弁解するつもりはないですが、事情をご説明させてください。 1. その日のスタッフは日本語があまり上手ではありません、うまく伝えれないところはあります。朝集合しているときに、バスバースの間違いでした。 2 連日大雪で、白川郷は渋滞で、入るのは1時間以上かかる日もあり、当日は事故で白川郷トンネルで交通渋滞が発生しており、無駄がないようにいつもと違うところに降車させたのはまた大間違いでした。色んな国のお客様がおり、一人ずつにうまく説明できなければ、降車する判断は軽率でした。今後は管理と教育を強化していきます。
お客様の気持ちを痛感しております。改めてお詫び申し上げます。
