A new activity "Drift Ice Bath" is born in Shiretoko in winter! The concept is "do nothing" Drift ice bathing is a quiet activity where you can feel healed by being near the drift ice as if you were in the forest. The drift ice season is very quiet. To experience the tranquility, look at the drift ice without moving. You need a lot of protection against the cold to stay still. Then, why not take the plunge, wrap it in a sleeping bag, sit in a chair and feel the drift ice up close! This activity was born from the idea. The sleeping bag is made by The North Face, which is suitable for the cold winter sky. I was particular about the chair. A camping chair (made by The North Face) that allows you to sit comfortably on a low armrest. The highlight is the video and photo shoot of the customer's drift ice bath scene with a drone from the sky. You will receive it after the activity is over.

Since its establishment in 1992, Picchio (meaning woodpecker in Italy) has been conducting "conservation and management of black bears" and "nature tours" based in Karuizawa-machi, Nagano, Japan. From 2019, we started tours at Shiretoko, a world natural heritage site, which represents Japan's rich nature. We wish to spread the natural richness of Japan to the world as well as Japan.
