Shiretoko Five Lakes

Jay Chang via Google Maps

Formed long ago by the eruption of Mount Io and fed by pure underground springs, the Shiretoko Five Lakes resemble a deity's five fingerprints set deep in the wild. Elevated wooden boardwalks and nature trails allow visitors to safely explore this untouched ecosystem while taking in sweeping views of the Shiretoko mountain range reflected across calm waters. It serves as one of the most accessible and mesmerizing gateways to experiencing Shiretoko National Park's raw, primeval beauty.
