Shiretoko Goko Lake

Reviewed By LCWW - Singapore, Singapore

Two routes available. An elevated footpath takes the visitor on a 1.6km out-and-back walk to Lake Ichiko. It is free and no special footwear is required. The route provides stunning views of the Shiretoko mountain range. Electric fences surround the walkway, to keep the bears away The second route of 3km round trip starts on the ground and joins the elevated walkway towards the end. Entry fee costs 5000 yen from 10 May to 31 July, but drops to only 250 yen from 1 August to 20 October. Visitors are required to register and attend a 10-minute briefing on safety precautions, including action to take in the event of a bear encounter. Ground conditions are classified on a scale of 1 to 3, with 3 being muddy and gum boots required, but gum boots are still highly recommended for condition 2. You’ll need to plan in advance, as the gum boots can only be hired for 500 yen at the Shiretoko Nature Centre, which is located 9km away before you get to Shiretoko Five Lakes. Parking at 500 yen per car, and toilets available. Pleasant walk through nature with lovely views of the lakes and mountain ranges. Best to go on a sunny day, as rain will obscure the view of the surrounding mountains.

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.
