Kaminoko Pond

Reviewed By ValerieS766 - Hokkaido, Japan

This is a tough spot to reach, but if you have access to a car it's worth the drive. This pond is found at the end of a long dirt road, tucked into the mountains. Even on a cloudy day the water of his pond are incredibly blue and clear. This phenomenon is cause by Mt. Mashu spring water constantly being cycled up from below. Every day 12000 tons of water burble up from the mountain, keeping the pond at a constant level and a pristine blue color, even through melting winter snow. Because the water stays at a cool 8℃ all year round, the trees that have fallen into the pond never rot and muddy the water. This is a very remote area, don't expect to have cell phone service. This area also has bear activity, so I would advise not cutting it too close to nightfall. There is a bathroom and parking lot.

Oshin Koshin Falls

Reviewed By hungry-sumo - Minato, Japan

Just off the main road to Shiretoko really worth a visit. There is even car parking spaces next to it so it's a breeze to stop by.

Kamuiwakka Hot Waterfall

Reviewed By Virendra-Yadav_2014 - Yokohama, Japan

All the waterfalls which I have visited in Japan is not allowing anyone to go inside. But this waterfalls is different from all. You can reach this place by taking direct bus from Shari station or 30 minutes bus from Shari goko area. This is hot waterfalls where you can enjoy light hiking train within falls or you can take bath here. Quite unique view from this fall. you can only climb upto 100 meter upwards but still a must visiting place in Shari area. Do mind bus timings and bear.

Furepe Waterfall

Reviewed By kmzhao - Hong Kong, China

Lucky me, it could be so beautiful from the visitor centre! But go earlier! I took the 12:30pm bus and started the walk and I nearly had to run back as the last bus was 2pm back to town! It’s at least 30 min one way on the snow and more if you take lots of photos!

Shiretoko Nature Center

Shiretoko National Park Nature Center is located at the entrance of the Shiretoko National Park, Hokkaido, Japan. It not only serves as an information center for the park visitors but also facilitates your enjoyable stay in Shiretoko.

Reviewed By 468henrikt - Copenhagen, Denmark

This is a well functioning center, with helpful staff some of which speak English very well and can provide you with a lot of useful information about the natural reserve. There is a good cafe in the Center and they serve one of the best latte’s I have had in Hokkaido. They are made with great care. The food is very decent too at moderate prices and there are options for most peoples taste I would think.
