- Hokkaido in the winter is cold and if you go to the very north coast along the Sea of Okhotsk, you'll find Abashiri (網走市) 260km / 165mi north of Sapporo.
In February, it's the high season for tourists because this is where you go to see a lot of snow. ice drifts and eat a lot of amazing seafood.
During the city's annual Drift Ice Festival, you'll also find the amazing Okhotsk Yatai Mura Food Market (オホーツク屋台村) where local resident come out to celebrate the cold long nights together with good food from the Sea of Okhotsk and copious amounts of beer and atsukan (hot Japanese sake). This is an excellent experience of a lively night market in Hokkaido and worth a stop and bite.
What do we eat at the market in this episode?
★ Snow Crab
☆ Ramen
★ Fried Shrimp
★ Grilled Oysters
★ Hokke Mackerel
★ Monster Scallops
☆ Udon
☆ Steamed Potatoes
☆ Yakisoba
☆ Okonomiyaki
It's hard not to get a little tipsy here, but one thing is for sure, you'll make a ton of friends and eat a lot of food.
There are also other things to do in Abashiri like visit the famous Prison which I covered in a previous episode.

John, what a great "Slice of Life™" video. You really capture not just the food, but people and culture that it represents. I haven't made it to Hokkaido (yet), but I love cold weather and this makes me want to go even more! Thanks for another amazing production. When a shrimp is fried, I have never had an issue eating the whole thing. P.S. I'm also loving the more consistent release schedule.
Agreed! This was fantastic John!
I'm perfectly agree with you.
Nosh Abroad ive already eaten a whole shrimp with head and its thick shell
@@seanapit8760 yeah, i know there are many verities of shrimp and prawns. but when fired the shrimp shell is pretty crispy
his voice is clear, understandable, and you can tell that he's really interested in what he's talking about. he's a little bit of a silly dork but thats not a bad thing. always family friendly, solid content. sometimes i wish it would have more interactions and a little less tv style editing so this episode was great.
The most interesting silly dork
I prefer people who come off as light hearted and silly, it’s easier to feel comfortable and be yourself around people that are naturally themselves regardless of how people interpret them.
I loved the camaraderie and the approachability of strangers who invite rather than push away. It is always these small cultural rural areas that know how to open the moment with tradition, simple foods, and warm smiles.
Totally agree! Festivals and markets also bring out the neighborly love in people. Big smiles!
Food

@@xcalibertrekker6693 Pacific Northwest. Washington State.
@@chiefenumclaw7960 Thats not cold, come to the inuits of canada. They live on baffin island, literally just below north pole
@@441meatloaf Gatekeeping the cold. Nice
I love Japan, anime, traditional places, the food, the language...everything JAPAN!!! Yet, I feel bad as a foreigner to go there, as the mass immmigration of the west and impolitness of foreigners ruines pur name and Id just eel bad for imposing on them even more. Japan for Japanese...and visitors, not migrants!
This is definitely included in my favorite Only in Japan videos! The authenticity and story-telling is superb! I’ve been to Hokkaido but the farthest I’ve been to is in Sapporo. Now I have a new place I want to visit there. Thanks John!
Nes Duran is been to Wakkanai but was really curious about the other side of Hokkaido! Next is Kushiro next time!! I loved the food in Obihiro, def good to go in summer when they have their fireworks. Or June when Furano is all flowery! 🌸🌺🌷
ONLY in JAPAN Thank you very much for the tips! 👍🏼👍🏼 I think I haven’t seen a video of yours about Furano but yes I heard that their flower fields are a must see in Hokkaido. Can’t wait to see your next upload! I always look forward to your videos because I keep on discovering more about Japan. What you’re doing is amazing and inspiring. Keep it up!
Love to see six recycle bins!
Rani Trisna Murti they sometimes have more! One just for chopsticks 🥢
No paper though :)
Wolf3fd paper is usually at train stations. At home, magazines, manga, books etc are all recycled - ties with string and taken out a couple times a month, cardboard once a week. For those that recycled paper, the companies would give residents toilet paper in return depending on how much paper you recycled. They’d leave it at the door. I don’t know if they still have this service but I noticed it a lot when I lived in the countryside. Def use more TP!
Only in Japan
Lol! Tipsy John is adorable xD
That ending camera shot was so wholesome. It really makes the approach to strangers in Hokkaido during the festival a lot more friendly and rewarding. Very social, welcoming and memorable. I've never been to Japan but Hokkaido is my #1 destination if I were to visit the country first.
I was there during Valentine's Day and took the Drift Ice Cruise!
Congrats on 1 Million Subs!! you deserve it John
omg! John saw my comment :D
He don't freeze his bottom for nothing.
Thank you John for bringing us these videos, it really warms my heart.
Seriously one of the best channels on TH-cam. I can never get enough of these! Keep it up John.
Love your videos.. Best regards from Sweden
ジョンさんおはよ！
いつも笑顔に癒されてます
暖かくしてね
I always love street food
Hey, it seems that the cooler the place, the warmer the people...nice!
Really enjoyable video. The snow, the interaction with the locals, the food. Everything.
Thank you for one more great video with this high quality. Love from Brazil.
*You're SHRIMPLY the best* 7:05
Wow, this is another top quality video, compared to other mainstream videos. The amount of editing and time put in this video well appreciated and deserve more recognition.
Everytime I watched each japan video all I could think of is that what a great country.
Another amazing video from this channel. Always informative. I learn a lot of different side of Japan everytime I watch 'Only in Japan'.
This particular video somehow is little bit different from the others, showing the fun atmosphere and friendly interaction with the locals. Love it, especially the last part when you couldn't really remember what to say, it's funny. Keep up the amazing work, John-san!
Festival/parties like that are the best!
Thanks John, the food and drink looked delicious and the people certainly made it fun. Such a friendly community. 👍🏻
Looked like a terrific time with great food, drink and people
I thought the ice bar was the coolest thing ever ( no pun intended ) until I saw how welcoming everyone was while you enjoyed fish and hot sake.
I was smiling ear to ear wishing I was along side you.
Love the idea of the communal BBQs! What a great way to stay warm and meet people over delicious food. Never seen a food market like this before, looks so fun! Only in Japan!
I love to visit Hokkaido and chill in the future.
Such a pleasure to watch!
what an awesome place with awesome people
I really miss japan. Thank for a vlog like this, it brings back my memories!
Thank you for yet another great video! So atmospheric. I feel as if I'm there in front of the sizzling fish and meat with a cup of hot sake! Cheers! Hokkaido people are really friendly and open, well, I felt so when I lived there. Now in the UK I miss those warm hearts in the land of long, long frozen winter. Thank you again, I really admire your wonderful adventurous spirits! Take care!
What makes Japan successfully clean is their ability to cooperate and adapt to life in an efficient non wasteful way, even animal organs and inners are eaten rich in nutrition.
This episode is so special you got to interact when common Japanese folks, we don't see that often
If I had to choose one TH-cam channel to watch for the rest of my life, it’d probably be this one.
Looks like a worthwhile adventure!
Japanese food Best 3 places
1. Hokkaido
2. Osaka
3. Kyusyu anywhere
oh really? Kyushu's foods r salty.
kyushu is very good
Great episode! Where do I begin? There are so many things I want to comment on: you tipsy at the end (LOL), the friendliness of the locals, the cool shot (no pun intended) from under the ice bar, okonomiyaki with bacon on it (oh yeah), the steamed potatoes, and eating the whole fried shrimp. Damn! Now I want to go to Hokkaido even more than before.
Ohhh, the people are soo, so nice and welcoming. Food looks delicious, too. *-*
Keep it real, keeping it fun, and keeping unique.
Great video. 👍🍻
had amazake when i was in Sapporo for the snow festival in the beginning of february! ah, i miss hokkaido....not a day went by that it didnt snow and i didnt really feel cold....until i went to hakodate....the wind and snow was a killer combo, but thanks to that it forced me to go outside hakodate to onuma quasi national park....really nice there! memories will last a lifetime!
What an adorable, chilling and cozy video, John! I ❤️ videos like this. And I also love the way you make vlogs, it's so compelling ! Hope you'll produce more of videos like this 'cause I am caught in them!
Great episode John, thanks!
I love your show john.. i am going to japan next year and will be going to many of the places you have shown- onsens food festivals capsule hotel.. thanks so much. I love how well you speak Japanese also. The people really appreciate it.
HANDS DOWN best channel in WHOLE TH-cam! ♥
Kirito Akiyuki Agree
Another great video john. I really liked your video, u put a lot of effort doing all the video u made. This is the reason why i love about you. Honestly i want you to upload videos every week, that's would be great john☺️☺️
I have seen many videos from all over Japan, but by far this place seems the funnest. I am from NE Ohio USA so I am used to the cold winter's, so should I ever get lucky enough to visit Japan, I think I would choose this place. The people seem down to earth, fun and friendly, the landscape is beautiful and the food and drink is right up my alley. Thank you for showing me this wonderful city.
Wow another great video John.
Huge thanks for all your effort. and I'm always happy everytime I watched your video. Enjoy!😘
Yayyy missed these kinds of videos from you mate
I was born in Japan and have not been back in thirty years and flying out on the 8th of March to Narita taking shinkansen to Hokkaido where I have never been. Food and onsen are at the top of the list
Came from Instagram! Oh I love Japan so much miss a lot need to come back to there! My country Brazil is really hot but I love cold climate. When I went to Japan wasn't able to see snow and it was winter. Would love to go to Hokkaido!
Another great video!! I love this channel!!
Thanks John (and the crew) for these videos. I really like all of them. Greetings from Finland!
There is a lot of negativity out there on the internet but your videos are so damn wholesome. I love it! Your positivity in each video gives me inspiration.
I'm Japanese and glad to watch this nice video!
If you here is planning to go to Hokkaido, I want you try the legendary salmon named 時鮭(Tokishirazu ).
When I ate it for the first time, I got goosebump coz too delicious!lol
sorry my poor English!
I'm from Chicago. I started eating shrimp with the shell on out of laziness of wanting to peel it, but soon learned exactly what your VLOG mentioned....the shell is where the strong flavor is. Now I eat it with shell for the flavor! Love your VLOGs!!
Wow, looks like an amazing place to be in. The food and the friendliness remind me of my father's hometown, a small fishing town on Java, Indonesia, but without the ice and snow of course. There, we eat shrimp whole just like in this video, either deep fried in light batter or flash fried and then sauteed in chili sauce. I really miss the taste of those super fresh shrimp. It is strong tasting, but it definitely is easy to get used to the delicious saltiness and pungency of the ocean.
FACT: Your best videos are food centric videos lol Loved all the food and yeah, I would eat the whole shrimp but the way they are normally cooked, it's very hard to eat the shell. Maybe the way they cook it softens it. Anyway, great place to have a few beers lol!
It's true! But the most viewed episodes on the channel are CAPSULE HOTEL, HIGHWAY THROUGH A BUILDING, SLEEPER CAR NIGHT TRAIN :) hahaha After the top 3, it's mostly food though because food brings people together. Thanks Pablo! You're also right about the shrimp and eating it the normal way.
Another great video John!!!!
that was a lovely video
I deeply regret not visiting Hokkaido while I was in Japan. I miss Japan a lot, they have such excellent hospitality!
Definitely one of your best videos, which is saying a lot because you're always making such great stuff!
Great episode! Really captured the warmth of the people can’t wait for your next video 😊

Very jealous of the cold and food from tropic Singapore!

This looks so cold yet so cozy at the same time!

The stunning views you show us give us a personal insight on your home and what can be treasured I absolutely love your channel and love Japan! Great Japanese speaking! I’ve learned so much from you than any other channel to be honest! Great work! I fully support!!!!!
i miss japan so much, i had a wonderful time living there for 15 years
Ahhhh Hokkaido ❤❤❤! Your videos really make me miss the little things that make Japan so wonderful - their hospitality! I remember when we were in Hakodate, and wandered into Daimon Yokocho because we were not really that impressed with Hakodate Beer... And every bar that we stepped into were full of friendly locals that tried to make conversation with us despite our broken Japanese 😊 made us feel so welcomed! Glad you had a great time there, will note to explore more of Hokkaido in future!
Good news! Japan is opening its borders to tourists starting October 11! Missing Japan so badly that I just posted our Hokkaido trip last 2020 on my channel. Here's to hoping to travel to Japan again
As a Malay/Australian when I first met my wife she had never seen anyone eat the very end of a chicken wing, now she loves them! Then I showed her that eating a prawn with the shell, that’s where she drew the line lol
Always look forward to your videos! Great job!
Those locals who envited you to eat with them seemed really kind. I would love to go here some day!
This looks like a lot of fun!
Such a great series. Love the show. Keep up the great work
Great place to eat ,,,,,I love it
John, that looks like a blast. That’s the kind of festival that I’d volunteer to help you film and pay my own way to get there. Especially with the camaraderie of the vendors and locals.
