Proceed to Sounkyo Onsen, a hot spring resort in Daisetsuzan National Park. From late January to late March, the town holds the Sounkyo Ice Waterfall Festival.
Wake up early and make the relatively long journey to Abashiri on the eastern coast of Hokkaido. In the winter, drift ice can be seen in the sea off Abashiri.
Travel to Memanbetsu Airport and fly back to Sapporo or Tokyo.
The above itinerary is somewhat fast-paced. Tourists preferring a slow pace of travel should consider spending more time at some of the destinations along the way.
