Jewelry Ice

Jewelry ice is a lump of ice from the Tokachi River that washes up on the coast of Toyokoro Town after flowing out into the Pacific Ocean. The difference between this and the drift ice that also appears on the sea is its high transparency. As the name implies, it is crystal clear, and its glow, which seems to reflect sunlight diffusely or embrace the setting sun, is a pleasure to the eyes. It is usually seen from mid-January to early March on the beach near the mouth of the Tokachi River in Otsu, Toyukoro Town.
