In mid-October, the weather was clear, making it perfect for walking. The morning walk around the five lakes offered a wonderful view of the lakes and autumn foliage against the backdrop of the Shiretoko mountain range. During the afternoon stroll through the primeval forest, I was able to see Ezo deer, chipmunks, and a fleeting glimpse of a black woodpecker. Additionally, I encountered beautiful poisonous mushrooms during both the morning and afternoon walks. I enjoyed the stroll without encountering any brown bears.
10月中旬、天候は晴れで絶好のウォーキング日和でした。午前中の五湖の周回では、知床連峰を背景にした湖と紅葉の風景がすばらしかったです。午後の原生林の散策では、エゾシカ、シマリス、クマゲラ(一瞬でした)が見れました。また午前中や午後の散策では、美しい毒キノコもみることができました。ヒグマに遭遇することもなく、散策を堪能できました。

Everything I saw was fresh and I had a very enjoyable time. The first place I visited, the Five Lakes, was particularly stunning as there was no wind that day, allowing the mountains of Shiretoko to reflect beautifully on the water's surface, creating a very magical landscape. The photos I took here are now used as wallpaper on my computer, and I am reliving the wonderful memories of Shiretoko Five Lakes.
The guide's explanations were clear and very good.
I believe there is only a little time left this year to use the ground walking paths, and I sincerely hope that the staff and guides will successfully complete their operations for the year.
見るもの全てが新鮮でとても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。特に一番最初に見た五湖は当日風もなかったことから水面に知床の山々が映りとても幻想的な風景でした。ここで撮影した写真はパコソンの壁紙に使い、知床五湖の楽しい思い出にひたっています。
ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすく、とても良かったです。
今年の地上遊歩道を使える時期はあと少しだと思いますが、スタッフ、ガイドの皆様が無事に年内の営業を終えますことを切に願っております。

I always used VELTRA for overseas tours, but I learned for the first time that they also have domestic options. I signed up just two days before, but they responded quickly, and I had a very enjoyable day.
Even though it was an afternoon tour, I received a message that "a brown bear was spotted in the morning," which made me wonder what would happen. However, thanks to the guide, I was able to walk for three hours with peace of mind.
I recommend tours that allow you to enjoy nature during the COVID-19 pandemic. Right now, the parking lot is available, but there are times when you might have to wait for three hours. Definitely consider it now.
海外ツアーは、いつもVELTRAでしたが、国内にもあることを初めて知り,ギリギリの二日前に申し込んだのですが、すぐに対応していただき、とても楽しい一日が過ごせました。
午後からのツアーなのに"午前中にヒグマが出た“との連絡をもらい、どうなることかと思いましたが、ガイドさんのおかげで安心して3時間を歩くことができました。
コロナ禍の中、自然の中を楽しめるツアーはお勧めです。今は、駐車場も空いていますが、3時間待ちのこともあるとか。是非、今。

Shiretoko Five Lakes can be explored on your own without a guide, but it was enjoyable to walk around while listening to various explanations from a knowledgeable guide. I think I would have just walked around the lakes without noticing many things on my own. It was accurate and beneficial to utilize the guide.
The day I participated was mid-October, and I was surprised when hail started to fall. The combination of autumn leaves and hail was impressive.
In the afternoon, we went trekking in the primeval forest. I was able to see rare birds like the Japanese pygmy woodpecker and the great spotted woodpecker. On the way back, we encountered a mother and cub brown bear from the car window, which was the highlight of the trip.
知床五湖はガイドをつけなくても自分で回る事が出来ますが、知床を知り尽くしているガイドさんに色々説明を聞きながらの散策は楽しかったです。自分だけだと気がつかないでただ湖の回りを歩くだけになっていたと思います。利用して正確でした。
参加した日は10月中旬でしたが、あられが降って来たりして驚きました。紅葉とあられの共演は印象的でした。
午後からは原生林のトレッキングです。ゴジュウガラやアカゲラといった珍しい野鳥が見れました。帰り道に車窓から親子のヒグマに遭遇もでき最高でした。

I booked this tour in Shiretoko for late August. However, it rained on the day of the tour. By the meeting time at 9 AM, the rain had intensified.
The female guide provided rubber boots and raincoats, saying that the tour would go on as long as it was manageable. She mentioned that the rain would lessen in the forest, but since my journey was still ongoing and I didn't want to catch a cold during the pandemic, I decided to cancel the tour at the last minute.
Basically, it seems that this tour does not allow for shortening or leaving midway (possibly due to concerns about bears). I would like to try again.
8月下旬に知床のこちらのツアーを予約しました。
だけど、当日は雨。9時の集合時刻頃には雨が一層強くなりました。
ガイドの女性の方は、長靴と合羽も用意してくださり、これぐらいならツアーはしますよとのこと。森の中は雨が弱まりますとのことでしたが、旅もまだ続けるので、コロナ禍で風邪にかかっては大変と思い、直前でツアーは断念した次第です。
基本、このツアーは短縮と途中離脱はできないそうです。(熊のこともあるようです)
また、再チャレンジしたいな。
Thank you very much for your comment.
On the day of the tour, it was raining heavily at the meeting time, but we proceeded with the tour as we expected the weather to improve.
However, it can be quite difficult to travel if you catch a cold.

We participated in a five-lake tour with our family from Kansai. Since it was our first time in Shiretoko, a place we rarely get to visit, we opted for a guided tour.
Our guide, Ayano, was a veteran who resembled Hayao Miyazaki, and he taught us a variety of things in a gentle tone. He shared information about the ecology of plants and animals, showed us a video of a Japanese pygmy woodpecker pecking at a tree that he filmed the day before, and took us to a photo spot where we could see bears catching salmon, among many other things.
While it's possible to live our lives without knowing these things, I deeply felt that while we go about our daily lives in Kansai, there exists an entirely different dimension of everyday life here, and nature shows us its current form, far beyond our living time.
Additionally, perhaps due to the holiday and Goto, the large parking lot at the Shiretoko Five Lakes Center was full, and we received traffic information from our guide in the morning. Although we thought we left early, we were still cutting it close, so my children and I got out of the car and walked to the meeting point, which was within walking distance. If we hadn't received the information, we would have all been in trouble. (By the way, my husband, who was driving, caught up with us later.)
Thank you, Ayano, for being a wonderful guide!
関西から五湖ツアーに家族で参加しました。初めての知床、なかなか来れない所に来たのですから、ガイドさん付のツアーにしました。
ガイドの綾野さんは、宮崎駿似のベテランガイドさんで、穏やかな口調でいろーんな事を教えていただきました。
動植物の生態についてはもちろん、前日に撮ったというコゲラが木をつついている動画やら、鮭を捕りに来た熊の写真スポット、北海道に関する私の疑問質問などなど、本当に様々と。
人生にとってこれらのことを知らなくても生きて行けますが、自分達が関西で日々生活している間、ここでは全く別の次元の日常があり、自然は私達の生きる時間をはるかに越えて、今の姿を見せてくれているんだと、しみじみ感じました。
またこの日は連休とGotoのためか、知床五湖センターの広い駐車場が満車で、午前中にガイドさんから渋滞情報をいただきました。早めに出たつもりが、それでもギリギリで、私と子ども達だけ車から降りて、歩ける距離だったので徒歩で集合場所に行きました。連絡をもらっていなければ、全員撃沈するところでした。(ちなみに運転手の旦那は後から追い付きました)
ガイドの綾野さん、ありがとうございました!
Dear Daibutsu-kun,
Thank you for participating in the Shiretoko Five Lakes full circuit walk the other day. I also want to express my gratitude for the beautiful photos and comments you shared.
This year, I thought there would be fewer people due to the self-restraint on outings, but suddenly there was an unprecedented traffic jam with a large number of visitors. Many people seemed to predict that Shiretoko would be safe, leading to a gathering in this remote area.
I appreciate your husband for waiting in line for a long time; it must have been tough. However, thanks to your early actions and flexible responses, you were able to come safely, and I am grateful for that.
I hope the nature of Shiretoko has become a wonderful memory for your family. I look forward to the day we can meet again.
Sincerely,
Ayano, Hoshi no Jikan Guide

We were blessed with great weather, and the surface of the lake sparkled beautifully, allowing us to enjoy a clear view of the Shiretoko mountain range. While it's possible to explore the Shiretoko Five Lakes on your own, joining a tour was truly worthwhile as we received clear explanations about wildlife traces, the history of Shiretoko, and the local plants.
We were able to see woodpeckers, Ezo squirrels, deer, little grebes, and white-tailed eagles up close, and I was especially moved by the adorable little grebe chicks! It was also great that they lent us binoculars.
I was a bit worried about bringing my mother, who is in her 60s and not very active, but our guide, Mr. Umebayashi, was very kind and a great communicator. He led us at a relaxed pace while we strolled, and she was able to walk energetically until the end. The step counter recorded about 15,000 steps. She has been talking about how much fun it was even after we got home!
お天気に恵まれ、湖の水面がキラキラと輝いていて、知床連山もきれいに眺めることができました。知床五湖は個人で周ることもできますが、野生動物の痕跡や知床の歴史や植物のことなどわかりやすく解説して頂けるので、ツアーに参加して本当に良かったです。
キツツキ、エゾリス、シカ、カイツブリ、オジロワシなどを間近で見ることができ、特にカイツブリの親子が可愛くて感激しました!望遠鏡を貸していただけるのもありがたかったです。
運動不足の60代の母を連れての参加だったので少し心配でしたが、ガイドの梅林さんがとても親切でお話も上手で、散策しながら、ゆっくりとしたペースで進んでくださるので、最後まで元気に歩いていました。歩数計のカウントは15000歩ほどでした。家に帰ってからも楽しかった♪と話しています。

I had to change my schedule to the next day because they couldn't provide transportation, but after checking the weather, I decided to stick to the original plan. The reservation change was smooth.
I was reminded repeatedly that the roads can get congested, so I departed at the designated time and arrived without any issues. Despite the unfortunate heat, the clear skies over Shiretoko Five Lakes were amazing. It seemed that the bear activity season around Shiretoko Five Lakes had ended, but there were still fresh footprints and claw marks, allowing me to fully enjoy the great outdoors.
The explanations during the journey were thorough, and we were able to take photos at the viewpoints, creating wonderful memories. In the afternoon, we moved to start at the Shiretoko Nature Center. There are no vending machines here, so there was a long line at the café to buy bottled drinks. I recommend preparing for this when returning to the city of Shari for lunch.
We passed through abandoned houses that are returning to nature and entered the primeval forest, where we were greeted by a wild red fox near the center. It looked thin and natural, as it was wild. I heard it was preying on mice near the roadside.
I had a fun time staring down an Ezo deer on the cliff.
送迎ができないとのことで翌日に変更していましたが、天気を見て急きょもとの日程に。スムーズな予約変更でした。
道路が込むので!とくどいほど念をおされたので指定された時間に出発。スムーズに到着しました。
あいにくの暑さの中でしたが、晴れ渡った知床五湖は最高。知床五湖周辺での熊の活動時期は終わったようでしたが、足跡、爪痕他まだ生々しいものもあり大自然を満喫できました。
道中の解説も丁寧で、ビューポイントで写真撮影もして頂き、いい思い出となりました。
午後からは場所を代えて知床自然センタースタート。ここには自販機がないので、カフェでペットボトルを買うのに大行列でした。昼食で斜里市街地に戻った際に準備されることをお勧めします。
放棄され自然に戻りつつある住宅跡を抜けて原生林へ、その前にセンター付近でキタキツネのお出迎え。野生ですので痩せた自然の姿でした。車道近くでネズミを捕食しているとのことでした。
崖上のエゾシカとに睨み合ったりして、楽しいひと時でした。

After August, it wasn't a guided tour, was it? I requested a guide, but I felt somewhat deceived financially.
The content included stories about bears, plants, and the history of Shiretoko, which I thought was very good. The tour was canceled due to a bear encounter, but by August, they are no longer around. I think experiencing the thrill in July would be better.
8月以降、ガイドマストじゃなかったんですね。

In October 2019, I participated with three generations of my family. The planned lakeside area became inaccessible due to a bear sighting two days prior, so we had to switch to a guided tour of the primeval forest. However, this turned out to be a very valuable experience. The guide's enjoyable explanations about the forest and wildlife, as well as the consideration shown towards my elderly mother, were greatly appreciated. Next time, I would like to join the lakeside course and enjoy the unique guidance from the guide while walking!

In August, the Shiretoko Five Lakes may close depending on bear sightings, and I was about to give up after hearing that they hadn't opened even once since the beginning of the month. Just as I started walking on the elevated wooden path that remains open, they surprisingly opened at 9 AM! I was able to complete the Shiretoko Five Lakes walking trail loop! With the extensive knowledge of our guide, Umebayashi, I thoroughly enjoyed the Shiretoko Five Lakes for three hours. In the afternoon, we began a trek through the primeval forest called "Men's Tears," where we looked out over Shiretoko Cape from the edge of a cliff. It was a hike that you could never do alone, and I had a great time! At the end, Umebayashi quietly suggested we leave the area, and I wondered what he meant until I spotted a bear just a few meters away! We almost had an encounter, but thanks to Umebayashi's quick thinking, we avoided danger. He is an amazing guide, able to sense the presence of bears that we amateurs would never notice!
8月に入ると熊出現情報次第で閉鎖されてしまう知床五湖、8月に入ってから一度も開いてないとの報に諦めかけて、閉鎖されない高架木道を歩き始めたところに、まさかまさか朝9時から開放に!知床五湖遊歩道大ループを踏破できました!ガイドの梅林さんの豊富な知識に3時間、知床五湖を満喫できました。午後は、藪漕ぎから始まる“男の涙”原生林散策、崖っぷちから遥か知床岬を望んだり、決して個人では歩けないハイキング、楽しみました!最後には、梅林さんがそっとこの場を離れるようにというので何のことかと思ったら、わずか数m先に熊が!危うく遭遇するところでしたが、梅林さんの機転で危険回避。僕ら素人には全くわからない熊の気配を感じ取るなんて、梅林さんはスゴいガイドです!

The weather was favorable, and we could see the mountains clearly.
We took three hours to cover 3 km, so it was quite a slow pace.
Our guide, Mr. Umebayashi, was excellent.
He made it easy to understand the formation of the Shiretoko Five Lakes and shared interesting stories about the trees.
It was hot in the sunny spots, but when the wind blew, it was refreshing, and we enjoyed a nice forest bath.
天気に恵まれ山がくっきりみれました。
3kmを3時間ですので、かなりゆっくりペースです。
ガイドの梅林さんがとてもよかったです。
知床5湖の成り立ち、木の話など聞きやすかったです。
日が当たる場所は暑かったですが、風が吹くとさわやかで、いい森林浴ができました。

This tour was great! Although in Japanese, our guide (Mr. Umebayashi) was able to explain many of the things in English. During the active season for bear, you cannot see most of the lakes without going with a guide. The tour was at a nice, enjoyable pace and filled with much information that we would not have learned otherwise. On top of that, Mr. Umebayashi drove us back to our hotel at the conclusion of the hotel. 100% recommend!

During the Golden Week, the weather can be unstable, leading to road closures at Shiretoko Pass and cancellations of sightseeing boat services. If you have a certain level of physical fitness and want to fully enjoy the majestic nature of the Five Lakes, I recommend signing up for a trekking tour. I participated on May 3rd, but the boat service was canceled (they contacted us the day before), and Shiretoko Pass was closed (determined on the morning of the tour), resulting in significant traffic. Additionally, during this time, you cannot tour the Five Lakes without a guided tour (I participated as part of a monitor tour), and individuals can only explore one lake, which affects the overall satisfaction. The guide was kind, knowledgeable, and managed the group of ten well. The trekking is not a strenuous mountain climb, so warm clothing is advisable. It's a full-day walking tour, but you can thoroughly enjoy the nature, scents, and wildlife of Shiretoko, making it highly recommended.
GWの時期は天気が不安定で知床峠が通行止めになったり、遊覧船も運行キャンセルになることもあり、ある程度体力に自信があり5湖の雄大な自然を満喫したいようであれば、トレッキングツアーの申し込みを推奨します。5月3日に参加しましたが、遊覧船はキャンセル(前日に連絡)され、知床峠は通行止め(当日の朝判断)で、かなりの渋滞でした。またこの時期はツアーでなけば5湖巡りができず(モニターツアーとして参加)、個人では1湖のみ限られた散策になるため、満足度も違います。ガイドさんは優しく知識もあり10名をうまく引率されてました。トレッキングもハードな山登りではないため、暖かな服装がよいです。丸一日歩くツアーですが、知床の自然、匂い、野生動物をじっくり味わうことができ、おススメです。
