Hokkaido winter frozen Abashiri lake view

Lake Abashiri is a lake across Abashiri City, Hokkaido, Japan, and is part of the Abashiri Quasinational Park. It is adjacent to the Sea of ​​Okhotsk and sometimes connected to each other. About 6,000 years ago, Lake Abashiri was once the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. As the sea level receded and the land rose, Lake Abashiri changed from a bay to a land lake 1,200 years ago. In winter, due to the severe cold weather in Hokkaido, Lake Abashiri freezes and seals the lake. Ice fishing is also popular here only in winter, and it is also very suitable for self-driving tourists to take a road trip to the shores of Hokkaido's lakes and coasts. #New Year’s Good Place #Hokkaido #JapanTravel #Self-Driving #Lakeview#Seaview
