[Kushiro Prince Hotel] Fixed Rate Plan for 20s Only, Enjoy East Hokkaido in Winter

2022.12.07

The plan is designed to support those who have not been able to go on graduation trips in recent years, and to provide an opportunity for younger travelers, who have become increasingly discouraged from traveling, to go on a trip at any time.
The plan is designed for stays of two consecutive nights or more so that visitors can fully enjoy not only Kushiro, but also the great nature of the surrounding area and the natural phenomena unique to winter.

Recommended Winter Spots in East Hokkaido

・The sunset from “Haimai Bridge,” a 10-minute walk from the hotel, is popular. Recommended as a photo spot.
・SL Winter Marshland Train: This train runs between Kushiro Station and Shibecha Station. It is a popular sightseeing train that allows passengers to enjoy the retro atmosphere.
・The red-crowned crane, a special natural treasure, is a rare bird that symbolizes East Hokkaido. You can see its mysterious appearance at the spots where it flies over.
・Canoeing: A canoeing experience is recommended to enjoy the clear winter air as you slowly float down the Kushiro River.
