On day 21, we explored a couple of the viewing spots in the Shiretoko National Park, one of Japan’s most remote regions. We ate a large breakfast then drove 15 minutes to the park, booking a bus ticket and checking out all the infographics regarding bears, weather and trails to walk.
At Shiretoko’s Goko, or 5 lakes, parties can walk around and check out the unspoiled landscape, untouched by human hands (except for light walking trails). The boardwalk at the west side of the attraction features an awesome view of the mountains, coast and sea.
Next, we checked out Kamuiwakka Falls, a thermal hot spring that is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. The mountainous terrain was evident in the steep hills of the waterfall, though one couldn’t venture too far upstream due to the danger of falling rocks and piping hot water temperatures.
From there, we briefly checked out Furepe Falls, another waterfall that is fed by an underground river. The lighthouse, observation deck and clear blue skies made it very scenic and one of my personal favorite viewing spots. After a long day exploring the park, we headed back to the inn and had a fresh, delicious course dinner of locally caught seafood.
That wraps up day 21 ~ Thank you for watching! If you enjoyed the video, don’t forget to like and subscribe so you can stay updated when I post new content! Leave a comment if you have a question or thought you’d like to share.
In the next video, I recount our activities in Rausu, the neighboring town the park stretches into. From sweeping valleys to the open sea, there’s no shortage of gorgeous greenery as we continue our month-long road trip. Thanks again to those of you who watched, and I’ll see you all next time!

In which month did you visit the park? And was this at the beginning or end of this month?

[@kel-lam]

at this point, it was the first half of august, so the weather in the north was perfect 👌🏽
