What other travelers are saying about Hokkaido Ice Pavilion
Around 20 to 30 minutes' visit to the art museum was a great experience. The staff were nice, and it was fun for someone like me who came from a hot place. After walking through the museum, you can also try getting a fortune ticket and writing your wishes on wood. A fun and worthwhile place to visit!
Highly recommend this place. You'll have the opportunity to experience -21°C and -41°C.
Went there today for a break due to the heavy snow, and we were the only guests on arrival. The staff were kind and passionate, although we were the only visitors. Warm tea was given after the cold room. There is a shrine and a slide outside. The slide cost 200 JPY, but the staff let us use it for free. The slide is highly recommended and it made my day, thanks to the staff. Their kindness and energy; I will always remember.
There was nothing much to see in this establishment. -41C experience was just fans blowing cold air right at you. 200yen sled ride inside was kind of a ripoff, took less than 10 seconds. They give you a hot tea drink right after you finish touring around inside.
Friendly staffs who greet tourists. A chance to experience the coldness between minus 20 to minus 41 degrees. Thick clothings are provided for warmth. Nothing much to see inside actually but just for the cold experience. Love the artsy restrooms beside the cafe. After the coldness, enjoying a cup of hot tea feels nice
Was a fun experience. Took around an hour to cover everything. All staff are very friendly.
