Join-in Option - Mini Ice Horizon Walk: Enjoy a 1-hour walk across the frozen sea, accompanied by an English-speaking guide. - Todowara Ice Horizon Course: Embark on a 3-hour tour to the mystical Todowara—an eerie forest of dead Sakhalin fir trees only accessible in winter—guided by a Japanese-speaking guide.
