Guided tour of Okhotsk Shizendo
I participated with my husband. We had a very fulfilling day thanks to the guide's detailed explanations. We learned a lot about the forest and realized that humans live in nature. We are very grateful to the guides who protect the nature of the Shiretoko Peninsula. (This review has been machine translated)

Shiretoko 1-day tour
I participated with a friend who came to visit from Okinawa. Unfortunately, the ground trail for the tour of the Shiretoko Five Lakes was closed for one day due to a bear being found there, but we were able to walk through the virgin forest, observe the elevated boardwalk to Lake Ichiko, and watch the salmon swim upstream in the Onnebetsu River. Our guide Kana-chan had an incredible amount of knowledge, and her stories, which were interspersed with jokes, were very enjoyable, making it a very satisfying one-day tour. The guide was considerate and made sure that everyone on the tour could hear what was being said, and the tour was very considerate of the participants. (This review has been machine translated) -
