Discovering the beauty of nature in the “middle” of winter

Experience the tranquility of winter and the power of nature as you explore Shiretoko Goko Lakes. Traverse the pristine, frozen, landscape as you discover un-touched territory framed by majestic mountains and a breathtaking view of the Sea of Okhotsk Ice Floe. Feel the World Heritage spirit and witness the peaceful harmony of wildlife and nature in this harsh winter habitat.

Paid professional guides are available during specific periods but book early. Unfortunately, the elevated wooden paths are not accessible during this season.
