All Reviews of Karafuto Islanders Memorial – Gate of Ice and Snow

In Wakkanai Park, at Japan’s northernmost point, you’ll find not only stunning views overlooking the Soya Strait and Sakhalin, but also several memorials standing quietly throughout the park.
They silently tell the heavy history of the final days of World War II and the early postwar period—a time filled with heartbreaking separations and circumstances beyond people’s control.

The Gate of Ice and Snow feels solemn and really makes you reflect. When it's covered in snow during winter, it looks even more beautiful and a bit melancholic.
