With transportation included, this is a great way to see the beauty of northern Hokkaido with an experienced guide!
[Kaminoko Pond]
Enjoy the beautiful emerald green of Kaminoko Pond, which is highly transparent and has a reputation as a power spot.
[Sakura Falls]
You can see cherry salmon returning to the river to spawn, desperately jumping over a 3.7m high waterfall from up close. (Around June to August)
[Space Observatory]
Located on a hilltop on the outskirts of a ranch, you can see Mt. Shari in the daytime, and on clear nights, a sky full of stars spreads above your head. Feel the vastness of Hokkaido.
[Uramashu Observatory]
Has a lower altitude than the observation deck in Teshikaga, so you have a high chance of seeing the mysterious lake, Lake Mashu, in beautiful condition. There are fewer people here than at other observation decks, so you can view the lake in a relatively calm and quiet environment.
[Optional Tours]
- Trekking to Ojika Falls, a hidden spot in Kiyosato
- Visiting Kinmuto, a hidden swamp between Lake Mashu and Lake Kussharo

It was very good
I had one-on-one time with my guide for about three hours, and he was very thorough in his conversations and explanations, so I had a really enjoyable time. Unfortunately, the fog made it impossible to see Lake Mashu, but my main goal, Kaminoko Pond, was so beautiful that I was very satisfied (I'd like to return someday). If I have the opportunity, I would like to try a different plan again. (This review has been machine translated) -
Thank you for your help!
We had a really fun day, with very friendly support from pick-up to showing around. The blue color of Kaminoko Pond was especially amazing. Thank you very much. (This review has been machine translated)

[Hokkaido, Shiretoko] One-day tour of Shiretoko and Kiyosato Town
I participated with my elderly mother and aunt. I asked Uene Usaru to take me to and from the accommodation. They responded quickly to my email to arrange a meeting, quickly picked out the places we wanted to go and packed them into one day, creating a course just as we wanted. The weather was relatively good on the day, and our guide was very knowledgeable, so we really enjoyed ourselves. Every spot, including Kaminoko Pond and the Shiretoko Five Lakes, which we wanted to visit, was refreshing. Lunch was delicious, but it might have been better if it was something a little more local and understandable. (This review has been machine translated) -

I am very satisfied with the guide's guidance!
We participated in this tour on our honeymoon. We had planned to tour Shiretoko by bus on the first day of the trip, and then do some sightseeing with this tour on the second day, but the buses were unable to be used due to the earthquake, so we asked Uene Saru Midori to also organise our tour for Shiretoko on the first day. Although we were visiting right after the earthquake, they were flexible and we had a really great trip. The guide's talk was very interesting and covered a wide range of topics, including topography and history. I think being able to see everything from major to minor places is unique to this tour.

The blue of Lake Mashu and the green of Kaminoko Pond
I was traveling solo in Hokkaido this summer by bus and on foot, but since there were no buses that went around Lake Uramashu, I joined a tour. I was able to see Lake Mashu, which I hadn't been able to see the day before because of the fog, from the Uramashu Observatory. The lake was such a beautiful blue that it felt like I was being sucked in. I also went around Kaminoko Pond, and this time it was a beautiful green that was very mystical. The guide's explanations were also thorough, and I was able to listen to his stories without getting bored even in the car while traveling between destinations, which made it fun.
