Bear Encounter
My husband and I went on our first Shiretoko cruise. The weather wasn't very good, but the waves were calm and the boat didn't rock. Before we boarded, I thought three hours would be a long time, but the time flew by as we were captivated by the beautiful scenery of Shiretoko. We were also lucky to see brown bears twice. It was an emotional moment when we saw Cape Shiretoko and the faint glimpse of Kunashiri Island beyond it. The guide was very kind and it was a valuable experience. I'd like to come again in the summer. (This review has been machine translated) -
Cape Shiretoko Cruise
My husband and I went on this cruise during the four-day holiday in September. We were blessed with great weather and it was the best cruise ever. I realized that if you are given proper explanations, your impression will change a lot. Overall, I was satisfied, but I did have a few thoughts. - I guess it was a busy time, but I was a little worried about the crowds, even though it was outdoors. - I think it was the right decision to take the afternoon trip after reading the reviews, but I was lucky to be able to keep the right side. I thought the people on the left side were on their way back, but they unexpectedly went directly offshore, so I felt that the difference between the left and right sides was big. - This time, we were able to apply for the Hokkaido resident discount, but I felt that the regular fare was out of reach for ordinary people. Also, of course, it can't be helped since I chose it myself, but it took a long time. It was a pleasant time, so it was the best, but if the weather had been bad, I think we would have been fine with a half-course. But this time, I was satisfied, so I would like to let you know that. Thank you. (This review has been machine translated)

We took advantage of the Doumin Discount and participated as a family. This was our first time in Shiretoko, and it was a 3-hour course to the very tip of Cape Shiretoko. We were blessed with good weather and were able to see some great scenery. We had trouble finding the bears in the snow, but the cruise ship driver managed to find two mother and cub bears. They looked like they were playing, perhaps fishing, in the river below the bridge. He explained a lot to us and was a great guide. We could see the shape of Kunashiri Island from the very tip of Shiretoko. We really enjoyed the island this time, so next time we'd like to enjoy the ocean (and maybe even dolphins and killer whales!). Everyone at the reception, guides, and on board the ship, including the driver, were all very kind and helpful. (This review has been machine translated) -

unfortunately…
I was in Sapporo on September 5th and 6th, went to Kushiro on the 6th to meet my wife, and went to Shiretoko on the 7th. I was looking forward to this experience, but the earthquake happened on the 6th, and I had to survive to get out of Sapporo and Hokkaido. I called you in advance, but unfortunately it ended in failure. I'm thinking of planning it again next year. I'll ask you again then. Thank you very much. (This review has been machine translated)
