The Shiretoko Five Lakes are five lakes surrounded by lush primeval forests at the base of Mt.Rasau and Mout Iō.
Shiretoko’s scenic mountains (1,500m class) and trees quietly reflect off the pristine surface of the lakes giving you a sense of healing; take in the wonderful views of the ocean, forests, mountains, and lakes all at once.
Many wild animals roam the area as their natural habitat, and if you are lucky, you may see brown bears, Hokkaido deer, Hokkaido squirrels, and more.
The lakes are open every year from late April to early November when there is no snow on the ground.
