July to September Summer Edition
Shiretoko, a World Natural Heritage Site.
When summer comes, mountains and seas shine brightly green, and it is a season when the blue sky and the blue of the sea blend together.
Wild animals are also appearing at ease, and there are scenery and experiences that can only be seen here.
This time, I would like to introduce "Summer Edition" at the height of the green season.

1
Oshinkoshin Falls
It is also called "Futami Falls" because the flow is divided into two from the middle. It is possible to go up the stairs to the height of the waterfall. It is a wonderful waterfall that has been selected as one of Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls.
In addition, from the observation deck above the waterfall, you can see the Sea of Okhotsk and the Shiretoko Mountains as far as you can see, especially during the drift ice season.
2
Sunset stand
It is a famous sunset spot and is also popular as a dating point for young travelers.
From spring to autumn, when the setting sun sets a vermilion streak on the sea surface, the winter when the sea surface covered with white with drift ice turns golden, is beautiful and impressive.
3
Cape Puyuni
A famous spot for superb views and sunsets on the way from Utoro to Shiretoko Nature Center. In addition to overlooking the beautiful coastline of Okhotsk and the port of Utoro, you can also see the mountains of Akan National Park far away.

Shiretoko Pass
At an altitude of 738 meters, Shiretoko Pass has a parking lot and observation deck, making it popular as a view spot for driving, touring, and sightseeing buses.

Shiretoko Goko Lakes
A natural paradise formed by five beautiful lakes surrounded by the old growth forest of Shiretoko Mountains. About 40 minutes round trip, the "Elevated Wooden Road" is a casual walking route that anyone can go to one lake.
The Ground promenade, which goes on a deeper natural road, has a course that goes around all five lakes, but due to the habitat of brown bears, there is a period during which guides are required or lectures are required.

2
Oronco Rock Lake
A huge rock with a height of about 60 meters. Derived from the indigenous people "Orocco" and Ainu language, which means "the rock sitting there", it is enshrined in a loose and mysterious form. It is possible to go to the top by stairs, and the view from the top, especially the sunset, is worth a look.
※Winter institutions are closed

Lake Rausu
The largest lake in the Shiretoko Peninsula. It is possible to trek on the premise of a guided tour, and it is also a secret place where you can enjoy the primitive scenery.
Please enjoy the color of the marshland plants, the voices of animals, and the surface of the lake reflecting the mountains.
Because of the high-density brown bear area, measures are perfect.

Others
A man's tears
It is possible to go with a guide.
You can also see groundwater erupting from the rock surface and flowing down vigorously, as well as hibernating holes in brown bears.
It is called "Man's Tears" in contrast to the nearby "Frepe Falls (Tears of the Virgin)".
Recommended for those who are Shiretoko repeaters or those who have already walked through the Flepe Falls.

Large sightseeing boat Orora
If you want to enjoy Shiretoko in summer dynamically, we recommend a large sightseeing boat.
In addition to a dynamic cruise departing and arriving at Utoro Fishing Port and returning to Shiretokomisaki, there is also a course where you can enjoy famous places on the way. You can enjoy the sea of Shiretoko comfortably on a large ship.
Please enjoy the powerful nature of Shiretoko, such as cliffs, strange rocks, and waterfalls that can only be seen from the sea, from the viewpoint unique to "Large Sightseeing Boat Orora".

Godzilla Rock Sightseeing
Shiretoko, a World Natural Heritage Site.
In the summer Shiretoko Peninsula, the green is dark and lively nature spreads out. On a sightseeing cruise operated from the east-west bases of Utoro and Laus, you will discover the unique nature of Shiretoko.
You can observe brown bears on Utoro cruises and whales on Raus cruises with a high probability.

Sea kayak
It is a small canoe that is easy to operate even for beginners, so you can experience the beautiful nature of Shiretoko up close.
It can be enjoyed by people of all ages regardless of gender.
4
Flepe Falls
This waterfall has no river and snow and rain falling on the Shiretoko mountain range penetrates underground, and flows down from the crack of a cliff of about 100m vertically steep cliff. Jolo Jolo is similar to tears, so it is nicknamed "Tears of the Maiden" locally because it resembles tears.
