Shiretoko Five Lakes ー
知床五湖
- Specific Nature
- Outdoor Activities
Fantastic five-lake area in the primeval forest. It is a tourist attraction which tourists must see in Shiretoko.
However, tourists are not allowed to walk around freely along the lakes since brown bears inhabit there.
The tourists who take part in the lectures in the field house of five-lake area are allowed to see some part of it.
It is the only sightseeing spot in Japan where tourists may directly face with wild animals.
Its wildness can be fully proved by it.
