Shiretoko Goko Lakes
Shiretoko Goko Lakes with spectacular views of the Shiretoko mountain range and virgin forests reflected on the surface of the water.
The Shiretoko Goko Lakes, one of the eight scenic spots in Shiretoko, are fantastic lakes surrounded by virgin forest. There is an above-ground walking trail (3 km course around the lakes) that allows visitors to leisurely stroll around these five lakes of various sizes. Visitors can also enjoy the view from the 800-meter-long elevated wooden pathway, which allows visitors to safely enjoy the scenery even if bears appear, and to see the Shiretoko Mountain Range and the Sea of Okhotsk at close range. The beauty of the Shiretoko mountain range reflected on the surface of the water will enchant you. As befits a paradise in the middle of a primitive area, one of the attractions of this area is that you can come into contact with numerous plants and animal life, such as the claw marks of brown bears and holes made by black woodpeckers.
