I don't how the cruises there are like in winter time, but we did one of the Rausu cruises to the tip of Shiretoko during the summer. It was okay, but I have to say it was a bit underwhelming when compared to 3-4 hour cruises up in Alaska. I personally would not invest too much time and energy trying to squeeze that in to your trip.
