Today, I would like to introduce "Shiretoko Peninsula" in Hokkaido, Japan.
The Shiretoko Peninsula in eastern Hokkaido juts out into the Sea of Okhotsk.
It is one of Japan's most beautiful place and is said to be the last unexplored region in Japan.
The peninsula is home to a variety of wildlife, such as brown bears, deers and foxes.
In winter, the peninsula's coast along the Sea of Okhotsk becomes one of the northern hemisphere's southernmost regions to see drift ice.
This picture(above) is the Shiretoko-Goko lakes(five lakes), which are small, quiet lakes surrounded by a virgin forest, and known as "the five jewels". You can walk around these five lakes in about 90mins.
Shiretoko is known as a "waterfall kingdom", and many waterfalls can be seen from the sightseeing boat.
This picture(Right) is Oshinkoshin waterfall which flows alongside a road and drops magnificently towards the sea.
Shiretoko Pass(Left) is located at the top of the Shiretoko Highway.
This highway is popular among drivers during the summer, and views of snow that still remains at the end of July are impressive.
I strongly recommend to go to Shiretoko Peninsula if you were a nature lover.
