We know you’re eager to test out your new wheels. How about a day trip out to Abashiri? Just 30 miles away, roll down those windows and feel the breeze in your hair on the drive there. Explore the area beginning with Abashiri Prison Museum, Abashiri Lake View Ski Resort and Okhotsk Ryuhyo Museum. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Shari, 40 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, let it be Utoro Onsen. (But we’re also huge fans of Oshin Koshin no Taki Falls and Oronko Rock.)
