知床五湖

这个地方很棒，常常可以在路上看到野生的小动物，像是狐狸、鹿这一类的，湖光山色，美不胜收，可惜要来这里交通并不是非常方便

我们参加了知床五湖一日健行团,由禁区步行至一湖.非常消耗体力,但感激导游们的帮忙,还我能看到这么美的景色! 努力没有白费!

游览周边最好的办法就是去斜里町徒步的路径,起点在停车场,一直到1号湖岸,然后再回来。这条路总共800米左右,走完大概要40分钟到1小时的时间,坐着轮椅也没问题。路上风景优美,很安全,可以大致观赏五湖的景色。我们去的时候,在路上还看见几只梅花鹿呢!路上共有三个观景的地方,第一个可以很好地看见斜里町山的轮廓。第二个可以看见鄂霍次克海,最后一个可以看见1号湖。自己开车去的话,停车场是要收费的。要想再多走走,可以走山路去2号湖和5号湖,找个有导游证的导游就行。我们时间有限,只是走了高架走道。想了解更多信息,可以去斜里町官网看看。

如果你喜欢和大自然交流而又不想进行太多的体力活动的话,这里非常时候你。你需要用90分钟的时间沿着小路徒步旅行,有快慢可以选择。景色棒极了,五个湖每一个都有自己的特色。这里的景色,加之这里的动植物都使得它当之无愧得成为日本北海道知床半岛联合国教科文组织世界文化遗产。公共交通工具尽管很少但是都是直接可以使用的(时刻表很重要)。你需要参加一个简短的情况介绍,主要是关于可能会遇到熊还有就是提醒你如何保持大自然不被破坏。我们是在夏季末的时候参观的,天空很蓝,蔬菜都是绿色的。我很期待在春天的时候再来参观。

在抵达知床五湖前的公路，沿路都是野生的鹿和狐狸。而一湖的高架木栈道周边，也到处都是野生的鹿。只可惜要进入二湖、三湖、四湖、五湖地区必须先预约，较为麻烦。

3月的知床很静很美，到处都是白茫茫的一片很纯净。雪山下鹿群悠闲地寻找食物，给人放松舒适的感觉。在白色的雪地上可以寻找到各种动物的脚印，有鸟有狐狸也有熊的很有意思。靠海边能看到冬日大海的浪潮，一切都是那么静让人细细品位。景色很美，摄影爱好者可以在这里拍到很好的照片。

去的时候通向知床五湖的通道正好封路了。不过,幸好有通往第一个湖的向上的道路。行程大概半小时,风景迷人。沿途还能看见野生的小鹿什么的。

We started out really early from Utoro to miss the tourist buses and first took a detour up the road to Mt. Rausu. Pretty forest on the way. The birch trees are quite startling with their white bark. The understorey right through seems to be a ginger-like plant about one metre high. Saw some deer by the side of the road. The vegetation on the way up went from birch and pine forest giving way to progressively more stunted trees with some splashes of autumn colours.Up to the saddle where there is a parking area and lookout so you can see Mt Rausu just there. Snow on the top and capped with some cloud and a bitter wind blowing over us. So although spectacular we didn’t spend much time outside the car.We drove back down the mountain and on to end of the bitumen at the Five Lakes to a big parking area and shops and wildlife centre. We walked along the boardwalk which runs for about a kilometre. It looked fairly newly-made and had electric fence wires on the side to prevent bears getting up on it. The land had sporadic rocky outcrops smothered with the same "ginger plant" we had seen in the forests, and some bog-type holes with water in them and reedy grass. We found out that the land used to be farmed but not economically and it was then abandoned. They are trying to rehabilitate it by planting.The first lake, Ichiko, was not big but was so pretty and a ready-made photo opportunity with the peaks of the Mt. Rausu range behind most carrying snow. Super views out to sea over unseen cliffs all along the boardwalk.

I strongly believe that Shiretoko Goko is the most fascinating place.Firstly, in my opinion, Shiretoko Goko has a lot of greenery. You can see five very grand lakes. These lakes are clear and beside the forest. If it is sunny, you can see Shiretoko Mountains and the forest which are reflected in the lake, and this view is attractive .Second, there are a lot of wild animals such as Yezo deers, yezo squirrels, and brown bears are there. The brown bears are dangerous, so you had better bring some bells because bears hate the sound of bells. By walking the overpass on the damp area, you will be able to see wild animals safely near.Finally, you can enjoy each season. In spring, you can see Shiretoko Mountains still covered with snow and yezo deers eating grass from the overpass. In summer, it is not so hot in Shiretoko, so it will be very comfortable to stay. In fall, you can enjoy superb views with colored leaves around the lakes and Shiretoko Mountains. In winter, you will fall in love with the very attractive snowy landscape. However, it is cold then, so if you don't like cold places, you shouldn't go in winter.It is hard to go to Shiretoko because it is far from Sapporo or airports. However, Shiretoko Goko is worth going to see marvelous views. You will be able to get rid of fatigue and your worries there. You had better go there once because I am convinced that it is the most magnificent place.

Hiking course in Shiretoko National Park. Spectacular scenery, both mountains and the Sea of Okhotsk.Course is a little up and down, and occasionally muddy in places, but the views of the small lakes a well worth it.Don't bring any food in to the park - it's annoying, and everything has to be bagged up. Better to just leave it in the car. There is a very slick operation informing people of what to do in case of bear attack - it's in Japanese subtitled in English.Entry is easiest by car, or if you managed to go by tour. Not much by way of public transport. Keep you eyes peeled for deer.

This had been one of the highlights of my trip to Hokkaido but it was ruined by the weather. I had booked the mandatory lectures prior to going onto the ground course but to our dismay, it was close as there had been bear sightings prior to the opening times.We went to the elevated pathway which is open and allows us to visit Lake 1. As this was a wheelchair friendly path, we had huge tour groups one after another which kind of disrupted the serenity of the location.We had been advised to call the park in the afternoon as it may open once the rangers have deemed the ground pathway is safe. To kill time, we drove towards Rausu and passing the Shiretoko Pass. We also made a stop at Iwobetsu Hotsprings for a short hike. The drive from Utoro to the lakes will reward you with beautiful mountain vistas and deers feeding close to the road. We did call back and the park was open by lunch-time. After making the payments for the entrance and video lecture, it was already getting dark as the day remained cloudy. We can only imagine how beautiful the lakes lined with trees of various shades of autumn on a clear day. TIPS:- check out the website (http://www.goko.go.jp/english/) - it pays to call up from your hotel or Utoro visitor centre to check if there ground pathway is open- bring warm and waterproof clothings as the weather can change- be careful when driving, we had seen a few tourist stopping their cars at a bend or on narrow roads to photograph wildlife or scenery

5 small lakes with mountains background, nothing special.

My first time to Shiretoko with my family.We drove there but probably as usual the parking was full and we had to wait in line for an hour, so frequently tour buses and chartered micro buses passed by which was so regretting and frustrating.But when we saw a magnificent view of the lake and the mountains, everything was cleaned up and we were so touched by those views.Pre- booking did not work because of the tragic jam, but don't worry you can get an introduction every 10 min to get Into the paid courses.Or you can alternatively choose a free course on a wooden bridge protected by electric wires from wild brown bears.Please enjoy one of the world heritage Shiretoko.

I took a bus tour from the Shari Bus Terminal located beside the JR Shari Station. I took all the A B and C course. The A course brought me to the Water Fall and Utoro bus terminal. The B course continue and went to the GoKo plus others. The C Course brought me back to the JR Shari Train Station. If you are not familiar with the plus and want to save time in waiting for buses, you should join all the ABC course.The Goko are quite spread out and the wooden platform only brought me to see the 1st Lake.I did not have time to join the 3 hrs walking tour (5000 Yen).The view from the platform was nice. I could see the mountain range, the lake and a great view of the area surround the lakes.

We did the small trail because the other one is sooo expensive (and not recommended by our ryokan). This is a nice path above the brushes, very quiet and with nice views towards the mountains and the sea. Very good to combine with the boats and the path on the mountain.
