The city
Shari is the municipality on the west side of the Shiretoko peninsula, on the Sea of Okhotsk. The town center, beside Shiretoko-Shari Station, is the rail gateway; the village of Utoro, about 40 km away, concentrates guesthouses, the port and the Oronko rock. From there you reach the Five Lakes of Shiretoko, Furepe Falls and the Shiretoko Pass road in the national park.

The local experience
Five small lakes in the forest at the base of the Shiretoko mountains, seen from an elevated boardwalk with an electric fence up to the first lake, and from ground trails that have rules related to bears.
A ribbon of water that springs from the rock and falls from a cliff about 100 meters straight into the Sea of Okhotsk, reached by a short trail from the park visitor center.
A rock outcrop about 60 meters high next to Utoro’s port, with a staircase to the top and views of the Sea of Okhotsk, the village, the Shiretoko mountains and the sunset.
The highest point of the road that crosses the Shiretoko peninsula, at about 740 meters, with views of Mount Rausu and the Nemuro Sea; the road closes in winter.
