The Experience
Shiretoko at night gives you a glimpse of nature's activities that are different from daytime. Tour participants will ride in a car driven by a local guide and travel on a pitch-black road without street lights to the sights. You can see wild animals moving around actively along the way. You can also enjoy the starry sky in fine weather. This tour is not a program to walk around in the forest, so anyone who are 7 years old and over can feel free to join the join-in group tour. If there is under 7 years old, you should take a private tour.
(note)Encounters with wild animals are not 100% promised.
