[SL Winter Marshland Train]

Limited-time train! We are offering a private charter of the Black Express, a train that stands out against the backdrop of the snow-covered Kushiro Marsh!

① Japan Airlines cabin crew members, JAL Hometown Ambassadors, will be on board. You can also greet and see off passengers, and take commemorative photos.

② Enjoy original in-car announcements by JAL Hometown Ambassadors. See the magnificent natural scenery from the windows and spot wildlife such as red-crowned cranes, Steller's sea eagles, and deer.

③ We've also prepared a small gift exclusively for those who book a private charter. You'll also receive an original boarding certificate as a memento!

[Icebreaker "Aurora"]

A massive ship powerfully breaks through thick ice as it pushes forward! With a loud "Boom! Boom!", the sight of the ship cutting through the ice with its own weight is a breathtaking spectacle that you won't experience on any other ice floe cruise!

・Drift ice is a natural phenomenon. Depending on the weather conditions (currents, wind direction, etc.) on the day of your trip, you may not be able to see it. In addition, icebreaker services may be suspended depending on the drift ice's position and weather conditions. Furthermore, even if the ship departs, you may not be able to see the drift ice due to currents, wind direction, etc. Please be aware that in the event of cancellation or change of your trip due to these circumstances, the usual cancellation fees will apply from the date of cancellation.

- If there is no drift ice on the icebreaker "Aurora," the tour will be changed to a scenic cruise of the Sea of Okhotsk (approximately 45 minutes), and any difference in fare will be refunded. In the event of cancellation due to severe weather, we will either guide you to an alternative sightseeing destination or refund the difference in fare.

[We'll take you to a breathtaking, fantastical landscape of silver and white created by nature!]

Lake Mashu Kamui Terrace: The most mystical moment for Lake Mashu is in winter. The breathtaking contrast between the snow-covered mountains and the "Mashu Blue" lake is truly spectacular!

Oshinkoshin Falls: A famous waterfall among the eight scenic spots of Shiretoko. The sight of the waterfall cascading down the cliff, sending up a spray of water, is overwhelmingly powerful.

Kitahama Station: The station closest to the Sea of Okhotsk. The magnificent Sea of Okhotsk stretches out right from the platform. You can enjoy spectacular views of the Sea of Okhotsk and the Shiretoko mountain range!

Fairytale Hill: In winter, the landscape is covered in snow, creating a breathtaking and fantastical scene of a vast, snow-covered plain that paints beautiful rural scenery in every season!

Kushiro/Tsurumidai: A wintering ground for the Japanese crane, a national special natural monument, where many cranes can be seen in winter.
