the setting
Shiretoko
Shiretoko is the long volcanic peninsula at the north-east corner of Hokkaido, a World Heritage Site of forest, cliffs and waterfalls running into the sea, home to brown bears, deer and sea eagles. The hotel stands at the edge of Utoro harbour, where the cruises along the coast begin.
Below the hotel lies the harbour with its great rock of Oronko, and the Five Lakes, Furepe Falls and the boats along the coast are a short drive away.
