Hello everyone. Have you ever heard of "Jewelry Ice" in Toyokoro Town, Nakagawa County? Jewelry Ice" in Toyokoro is created when water from the Tokachi River freezes, flows out into the Pacific Ocean, is scraped by waves, and is washed up on the sandy beach of Otsu Beach near the mouth of the Tokachi River. The main difference between "jewelry ice" and drift ice is its color and transparency. The main difference between "drift ice" and "jewelry ice" is the color and transparency of the ice. The way it shines in the light is like a jewel.

The appearance changes even during the course of a single day.
