Shiretoko Peninsula
5.0
4.5/590 Reviews
Open year round, 24/7
翱翔的大鲨鱼:“Lake Rausu is a freshwater lake located at the foot of Mount Chisei Betsudake on the Shiretoko Peninsula. With an altitude of 740 meters, a circumference of about 4 kilometers, and a maximum water depth of about 2 meters, it is the largest lake in Shiretoko National Park.
The area was obscured by trees and contained bear dens, so it was once known as an imaginary lake that no one could approach. However, the mountain climbing road has been repaired and is open from June to October, so the general public can use it.
In addition to Lake Rausu, there are five marshes (Ichinonuma ~ Gononuma) and the Meiri Lookout, where you can enjoy various beautiful scenery, such as snow in spring, fresh green in summer and red leaves in autumn.
*Unfortunately, there is no road leading to Ichinuma, so you can see Ninomuma to Gononuma along the hiking trail. Free admission.”

张高秋:“The Drift Ice Museum is divided into two parts, above ground and underground. The underground part is an introduction to the Abashiri Drift Ice, which is the southernmost tip of the drift ice. There are films and exhibitions, as well as an experience hall. In an environment of more than ten degrees below zero, towels can freeze immediately. On the ground is an observation deck, where you can see the Shiretoko Peninsula, Abashiri Lake, Notoro Lake, etc. It is very spectacular.”

M90***40:“There wasn't much ice, but it was still nice. The wind and snow were strong, and it was super cold outside. The view was stunning, and I saw seabirds, but unfortunately I didn't see seals. There were snacks and drinks on the boat, and it was warm inside. You have to line up early, otherwise there will be no good seats.”

翱翔的大鲨鱼:“This is called the end of the world. It is located in the Notsuke Peninsula in the eastern part of Hokkaido, which is famous for its unique topography. It is only 16 kilometers away from Kunashir Island on the opposite shore. After World War II, it was occupied by Russia, and the border issue with Japan has not been resolved for a long time.”

淡泊宁静静:“The Shiretoko Five Lakes in Hokkaido are naturally formed waters. There are no rivers flowing in and out of the lakes, and the lakes are all filled with spring water gushing out from underground.
When you come here, you can breathe the fresh air of nature, see the clear waters of the five lakes, and feel the beauty and purity!”

Doctor X_Candy:“Lake Akan is a popular tourist destination in Hokkaido. In winter, Lake Akan is like a dreamy ice and snow kingdom. The temperature drops to minus 20 degrees Celsius, the lake is frozen, and the snow is covered, which is beautiful.
• Fireworks viewing: From February 1st to March 17th, fireworks will be set off on the surface of Lake Akan at 8 o'clock every night. A warm-up performance will be held on the stage 15 minutes in advance, and the fireworks show will last for 5-6 minutes.
• Ice activities: The ice park offers a variety of winter activities during the day, such as snowmobiles, banana boats, four-wheel off-road driving projects, and ice fishing entertainment activities.
• Ainu Village: It is within a 10-minute walking distance from all hot spring hotels. The market shops with ethnic minority styles are dazzling and worth visiting. The wood carvings inside are worth buying.
There are many winter activities in Lake Akan, but you need to keep warm. It is recommended to wear waterproof, non-slip and warm shoes. Snow boots are the best choice.”
