What other travelers are saying about Shiretoko National Park
A beautiful hike along the wooden raised platform. Great for kids! Many photo opportunities. There is an option to have a guide to bring you on a longer trail.
I don't know how likely this is to happen, but we saw a bear up close and personal on june 4th while driving on the main road between Rausu and Utoro, 500m from Shiretoko pass. The bear looked at our car for a long minute before walking away into the shrubs. Wonderful. I wished I had made better photos, but I was too excited.
It was wonderful to be able to explore more of the National Park in summer. The Utoro side seems to get better weather! A very stunning place with lots of wildlife.
