Shiretoko Goko

Shiretoko Goko (Five Lakes) in winter is a special world of tranquility where only a limited number of people are allowed to walk. Only during the severe winter season can visitors walk on the surface of the lakes, which are beautiful from spring to autumn, with snowshoes. The magnificent view of the silvery white Shiretoko mountain range against the clear blue sky and the drift ice that covers the sea beyond the horizon during the drift ice season are unparalleled. This tour can only be experienced in the middle of winter in Shiretoko.

Enjoy seeing an abundance of flora and fauna at the Shiretoko Mountain Range and Shiretoko Goko Lakes. The English-speaking guide will explain rules to follow in natural areas on this tour that lets customers gain a deeper understanding and peace of mind. On a 90-minute cruise aboard the Shiretoko Sightseeing Ship Aurora, relish Mother Nature to the fullest, taking in the sight of cliffs, sea caves, the Shiretoko Mountain Range, and refreshing waterfalls. Take a leisurely tour around the great nature of Shiretoko using a hired car accompanied by an English-speaking guide.
