Shiretoko National Park Japan, Hokkaido, Shari District, Shari Last Updated: 07/17/2026 |
| Shiretoko National Park covers much of the Shiretoko Peninsula in the far northeast of Hokkaido, Japan. Shiretoko is best known for being home to Japan's largest brown bear population and for its views of Kunashiri Island, which is disputed between Japan and Russia. | |
| Shiretoko is one of Japan’s most pristine national parks. Its wild expanses are home to 36 land and 22 marine mammal species as well as 285 bird species, including brown bears, Blakiston’s fish owls and orcas. The peninsula’s volcanic landscapes cover ocean, river and forest ecosystems that vary dramatically between seasons. You’ll have chances to hike through meadows dotted with alpine flowers, walk on drift ice, snowshoe through frozen forests, and cycle along winding mountain roads. | |
