Shiretoko Goko Lakes
A breathtaking view reflecting the Shiretoko Mountain Range and primeval forests on the water's surface.
Shiretoko Goko, one of the Shiretoko Eight Sights, is a series of five enchanting lakes surrounded by primeval forests, reflecting the Shiretoko Mountain Range and the untouched wilderness on their surfaces. There is a 3-kilometer ground walking trail that allows you to leisurely stroll around these lakes. Additionally, there is an 800-meter elevated wooden path that ensures safety even in bear-prone areas, offering close views of the first lake and panoramic vistas of the Shiretoko Mountain Range and the Sea of Okhotsk. You will be captivated by the beauty of the Shiretoko Mountain Range reflected on the water's surface. True to its paradise-like nature, you can also encounter numerous plants and animals, such as bear claw marks and holes made by black woodpeckers, making it a fascinating place to explore.
