Two routes available. An elevated footpath takes the visitor on a 1.6km out-and-back walk to Lake Ichiko. It is free and no special footwear is required. The route provides stunning views of the Shiretoko mountain range. Electric fences surround the walkway, to keep the bears away The second route of 3km round trip starts on the ground and joins the elevated walkway towards the end. Entry fee costs 5000 yen from 10 May to 31 July, but drops to only 250 yen from 1 August to 20 October. Visitors are required to register and attend a 10-minute briefing on safety precautions, including action to take in the event of a bear encounter. Ground conditions are classified on a scale of 1 to 3, with 3 being muddy and gum boots required, but gum boots are still highly recommended for condition 2. You’ll need to plan in advance, as the gum boots can only be hired for 500 yen at the Shiretoko Nature Centre, which is located 9km away before you get to Shiretoko Five Lakes. Parking at 500 yen per car, and toilets available. Pleasant walk through nature with lovely views of the lakes and mountain ranges. Best to go on a sunny day, as rain will obscure the view of the surrounding mountains.

Just off the main road to Shiretoko really worth a visit. There is even car parking spaces next to it so it's a breeze to stop by.

All the waterfalls which I have visited in Japan is not allowing anyone to go inside. But this waterfalls is different from all. You can reach this place by taking direct bus from Shari station or 30 minutes bus from Shari goko area. This is hot waterfalls where you can enjoy light hiking train within falls or you can take bath here. Quite unique view from this fall. you can only climb upto 100 meter upwards but still a must visiting place in Shari area. Do mind bus timings and bear.

Lucky me, it could be so beautiful from the visitor centre! But go earlier! I took the 12:30pm bus and started the walk and I nearly had to run back as the last bus was 2pm back to town! It’s at least 30 min one way on the snow and more if you take lots of photos!
