Before participating, I was worried about encountering brown bears, as they can be scary. During the morning tour, a brown bear appeared during the lecture, so the afternoon tour was moved up, and I was able to see a black woodpecker. There were also Ezo deer. I was concerned about whether the tour would proceed, but since the brown bear left, the tour went ahead, and we were able to see a mother and cub brown bear by the lakeshore after progressing to the second lake. Just before that, the crows started cawing, which was a sign. We turned back without seeing the first lake, but the tour went ahead, and it was fantastic.
参加前は、ヒグマは怖いので会わないようにしたいと思っていました。午前中のツアーがレクチャー中にヒグマが出たため、午後のツアーが先になりクマゲラを見ることができました。蝦夷鹿もいました。催行できるか心配でしたがヒグマがいなくなったため催行になり二湖まで進んだところで湖岸にヒグマの親子を見ることができました。直前にカラスが鳴きだしたため兆しがありました。一湖は見ずに引き返しましたがツアーが催行されて最高でした。

The host paid close attention to the guests while skillfully explaining things with humor, making it very engaging. Towards the end, they kindly helped us decide where to have lunch. What struck me the most was how much they genuinely love their local area.
細かくゲストに目を配りつつ、冗談を交えながら上手に説明され、聞き応えがありました。終了間際には、昼食をどこで取ったらよいかの相談にも親身にのっていただきました。一番感じたのは、地元をとっても愛されている方だと感じました。

I'm glad I chose the one-day hiking tour! The guide was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna, and the whole day flew by! I recommend spending the entire day, not just at Shiretoko Five Lakes. Walking through the primeval forest on unmarked paths was a wonderful mix of excitement and the refreshing feeling of forest bathing.
1日ハイキングツアーにして良かったです!
動植物の話などガイドさんの知識豊富で丸一日でもあっという間でした!
知床五湖だけでなく、丸一日をお勧めします。
原生林の中を、道無き道を歩いて行くのは緊張感と、森林浴の気持ちよさとが相まって心地良かったです(・∀・)

The Shiretoko national park is a beautiful place and is a must-go place for visitors to Hokkaido.
Our guide was very informative and patient which we really appreciate because of the numerous photo taking opportunities.
One advice for visitors is that it can get quite cold there even in June. So please be properly dressed. A pair of gloves would be useful if you plan on taking lots of photos.

It was truly a fulfilling experience, and the afterglow of the tour was amazing; I had a lot of fun!
I understood why Shiretoko became a World Heritage site through the explanations of its ecosystem, the breathtaking views that need no explanation, and the extraordinary experience of exploring animal trails. Everything was impressive.
It was also an opportunity to learn the importance of "experiencing to remember." I would like to participate again in a different season!
本当に充実した内容で、
ツアー後の余韻もすごく、楽しかったです!
知床がなぜ世界遺産になったのか、
その理由がわかるような生態系の説明、
説明いらずの絶景、
非日常的な獣道探索、
全てが印象的です。
“体験して覚える”大切さを学ぶ機会にもなりました。
季節を変えて、また参加したいと思います!

Thanks to our knowledgeable and kind guide, we were able to discover deer and bear tracks (and droppings) that we wouldn't have noticed as amateurs! The guide was also well-versed in bird calls, making the forest feel completely different! I would love to join the winter snowshoe tour as well!
知識豊富で優しいガイドさんのおかげで、素人では気づけないシカやクマの足跡(やフン)を発見することができました!
鳥の鳴き声にも詳しくて、森が違って感じられました!
冬のカンジキツアーにも参加したいと思います!

In the first half, we visited the Shiretoko Five Lakes, and in the second half, we took a path through the dense wilderness to see the tears of a man. The scenery was truly representative of Shiretoko, and I was very satisfied. The guide was incredibly thorough in sharing various insights, allowing us to understand the current situation of Shiretoko, which cannot be grasped just by looking at the surface. It made me think deeply. Thank you for such a meaningful time!
前半は知床五胡を、後半は男の涙を見に鬱蒼とした道無き道を行きました。まさに知床!といった景色が続き、とても満足行きました。ガイドさんも本当に丁寧にいろいろなことを教えて頂き、表面上で見るだけではわからない知床の現状も知ることができ、深く考えさせられました。
本当に有意義な時間をありがとうございました!

I participated on September 16th. In the morning, we visited the Shiretoko Five Lakes, and in the afternoon, we went trekking in the Shiretoko Forest.
At the Shiretoko Five Lakes, we were able to see bear footprints and claw marks, and we received detailed explanations about the plants. It was a very fulfilling trekking experience, as the explanations added so much more than just walking and enjoying the beautiful scenery.
The afternoon trek towards the cliffs was also enjoyable, as we followed paths that felt like animal trails, adding to the sense of adventure. Taking a break on the rocky area while gazing at the Sea of Okhotsk was incredibly refreshing.
Our guide was very pleasant, and I had a fun day. Thank you very much.
9/16に参加させていただきました。午前中は知床五湖、午後は知床の森トレッキングに行きました。
知床五湖ではヒグマの足跡や爪跡を見ることができ、植物の詳しい説明などを聞きました。ただ綺麗な景色を見て歩くだけよりも、説明していただくことでとても充実したトレッキングになりました。
午後の断崖絶壁を目指すトレッキングも、獣道のようなところを辿り、冒険気分で楽しめました。途中、オホーツク海を眺める岩場で休憩したのが大変気持ちよかったです。
とても感じの良いガイドさんで、楽しく1日過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました。

This tour is recommended for those who find just visiting the five lakes insufficient. The guide provides in-depth explanations about the characteristics of plants, traces left by animals, and the unique environment of Shiretoko while taking you on a leisurely trek. Without hearing about things like the claw marks left by bears on tree trunks or the water plantain that has been dug up, you might walk past them without noticing. Additionally, they offer rentals for rubber boots and binoculars, so you can walk through muddy areas with confidence and observe birds as well. On the primeval forest course, I was able to see a white-tailed eagle through binoculars from the cliffs. Of course, the views of the sky, sea, and cliffs were amazing. I also encountered a mother deer and her fawn up close. The course itself is not too steep, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind. There were even elementary school children participating.
五湖だけでは物足りない方にお勧めなツアーです。 ガイドさんが、観光客では分からない植物の特徴や動物の残す痕跡、知床の風土といったことを踏まえ説明しながらじっくりトレッキングをしていきます。クマの爪痕が残る木の幹や根を掘り起こされた水芭蕉なんて説明を聞かないと知らずに歩き過ぎてしまいますよね。また、長靴や双眼鏡もレンタルしてくれるため、ぬかるみも安心して歩けますし、鳥などの観察もできます。原生林コースでは、岸壁から双眼鏡でしっかりオジロワシを観ましたよ。もちろん、空、海、崖の景色はサイコーでした。シカの親子にも間近で出会えました。コース自体、それ程険しくないので安心して楽しめます。小学生のお子さんも参加されてましたよ。

While it's not impossible to reach Furepe Falls on our own, thanks to this tour, we learned so many things that we would never have noticed by ourselves. We were able to ask questions until we were satisfied about the ecology of the flora and fauna and the nature of Shiretoko, as there were no other participants, and time flew by. We also had the chance to see a majestic falcon spreading its wings against the backdrop of Furepe Falls, and after the tour, we were kindly taken to a spot where we could see wild bears catching salmon (we didn't see them that day, but when we tried again the next day, we were able to see them clearly—what an emotional experience!). It was worth much more than the price we paid. Thank you very much.
フレペの滝まで自分たちで行けないことはありませんが今回のツアーをお願いしたおかげで自分たちでは決して気がつくことはできないたくさんのことを教えていただけました。
動植物の生態や知床の自然のことなどほかの参加者はいないので納得いくまで質問もできあっという間に時間が過ぎました。
普段なかなか見られないというハヤブサがフレペの滝をバックに雄大に羽を広げる姿も見ることができ、また野生の熊が鮭をとっているところが見えるスポットにツアー後にご好意で連れて行ってくださったり(当日は見られませんでしたが翌日もう一度tryしたらしっかりみれました、感動!)料金以上の価値がありました。ありがとうございました。

I arrived at Memanbetsu Airport the day before and left Abashiri City at 6 AM the next morning for the 8:10 lecture on the Shiretoko Five Lakes, where I learned about the habitat of the brown bear. With the guide, we toured the five lakes, enjoying various explanations and amusing anecdotes. The Shiretoko Peninsula is surrounded by the sea, and the mountains of the peninsula reveal different landscapes, sometimes hidden by clouds. Depending on the season, in winter, you can walk to the islands in the frozen lakes. The guide informed us about the Kamuiwakka Falls, which has hot springs that close at the end of October, and we enjoyed a day trip to a hot spring over the mountain pass. Afterward, we returned to Abashiri, where we saw Kunashir Island from Rausu and experienced many other things. Two nights and three days are not enough, and I especially want to come back during the drift ice season.
前日に女満別空港着、翌朝網走市内朝6時出立で8:10の知床五胡レクチャーでヒグマの生活圏にお邪魔するってことを教わり、ガイドさんと五胡巡り、色々と解説と小ネタに笑わせてもらいながら、知床半島は海に挟まれ、知床半島の山々が色んな景色 雲隠れしたり現れたりで、季節によっても変わる冬なら凍った五胡の中の島へ歩いていけるとか。ガイドさんに教えてもらって10月末には閉まる温泉が流れ出るカムイワッカの滝やら峠越えた温泉で日帰り湯を楽しみ後、半島の反対側の羅臼では国後島を見て、他色々で網走に戻りました。2泊3日では足りないし、季節によって、特に流氷時期もまた来てみたい。

Only my friend and I made a reservation for the day, so it was like a private tour, very relaxing and nice. The guide was in good spirits and taught us a number of things.
They not only answered our questions but also gave us information that we were had no idea about, and about how nature grows mysteriously. We had never imagined some of the many viewpoints.
We were so excited and thrilled at hearing how Yamagishi, our guide, encountered a bear. It was fun to hear it. We would like to visit there again.

I was able to see deer as well, which I was looking forward to.
Despite forgetting bug spray, the guide was kind enough to lend me some (thank you!)

Thank you for sharing your experience, Maa-chan. Also, thank you for participating the other day despite the cold weather. I'm glad you were able to see the peregrine falcon and the next day you spotted a brown bear as well. The spot we guided you to is a great place for safe observation without being noticed by the brown bears. We look forward to your next participation.
