If you’re searching for day-trip inspiration, we can help out. Sitting 17 miles away, Abashiri is worth hopping in the car for. Abashiri Prison Museum, Abashiri Lake View Ski Resort and Okhotsk Ryuhyo Museum alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Don’t miss Teshikaga either! Just 20 miles away, Mashu Hot Spring, Kussharo-ko and Mount Io are must-sees here.
