Highlights:
The Shiretoko Five Lakes are the collective name for the five lakes located in Shari-cho, Hokkaido, and are also important tourist spots on the Shiretoko Peninsula. These five lakes are dammed lakes after the volcanic eruption, scattered in the forest with beautiful scenery. Walk on the promenade by the lake, get in touch with nature, and have a chance to see cute deer. Using the promenade is the way to see the Shiretoko Five Lakes. There are two kinds of promenades, one is an elevated wooden path around one lake, and the other is an above-ground walkway around the other four lakes. The elevated wooden path is about 800 meters long, and you can walk to the lakeside of a lake. The lake reflects the mountains of Shiretoko, and the scenery is picturesque and pleasant. There are three observation decks along the road, where you can enjoy lakes and mountains from different perspectives.

Highlights:
From the Shiretoko Sightseeing Boat, you can see that pristine place that is inaccessible to people. The more than 200-meter-high cliffs and the merry-go-round-like caves present strangely shaped seawater erosion. There are also many crystal clear waterfalls pouring into the Sea of Okhotsk, and Shiretoko peaks in season, with bright colors, you can see the infinite charm of nature.
