Visited here with a tour group. We had a private snowshoe guide that made it quite fun - I'd never snowshoed before but it was really easy.The trails aren't that long but it's really pretty and the nature centre is quite beautiful. We saw some Ural owls and flying squirrels while there.

Really unspoiled and beautiful. Not overwhelmed with tourist, mostly Hong Kong people and some Europeans here and there. Lots of wild animals.

This was the main point of my visit - I joined a local tour, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable, taking us through the woods and explaining the route / trees / animals that lived in the park. Unfortunately when I went it was raining pretty hard, so it was very foggy. I would definitely go back to visit again! I would recommend pre-booking your tour so everything is organised by the time you get there. Knowing Japanese would be beneficial :)

Shiretoko National Park is a World Heritage. Drove round here and you can chance upon spotted deers and red foxes on the road. Apparently, there has also been sightings of the brown bears. All of these are native to Shiretoko. Take the cruise to have a leisurely view of the park from the waters.
