A 40 minute drive from Sapporo toward Ishikari Beach, there is a park called “Hamanasu no Oka Park”. It is famous for 180 different kinds of wild seaside plants and wild birds. This park is located on a sandbar where the Ishikari River and the Sea of Japan meet.

In January, you can see “Ice Art” around the Ishikari River and the Sea of Japan.


Last week, while I was taking a walk in "Hamanasu no Oka Park", I came across some unique and artistic ice around the Ishikari River and the Sea of Japan.




I really wondered if I had wandered into an “Ice World”! It was amazing scenery, so I couldn’t stop taking pictures.
