On the day of the tour, unfortunately, it was cloudy, and there was an incident in the morning where a bear appeared at the five lakes, leading to a temporary closure. However, the guide seemed accustomed to handling such situations and adjusted the routes for the morning and afternoon, allowing us to complete the tour safely. It was enjoyable to walk while listening to the knowledgeable guide talk about the claw marks from the bear trying to climb a tree and the mushrooms at our feet.
参加当日はあいにくの曇り空、午前中五湖に熊が出て一時閉鎖という事態になりましたが、ガイドさんは対処に慣れているようで午前と午後のルートを変更してもらい、無事にツアーを終わらせることができました。
熊が木に登ろうとした爪痕や足元にあるキノコなど、知識の豊富なガイドさんの話を聞きながら歩くことができ、楽しかったです。

It was a tour in the rain, but it wasn't too hot, and since it was raining, there were also fewer bugs, which was nice. The tour guide shared fun stories about bears, deer, and plants, and kept everyone entertained with quizzes throughout the tour. In the second half of the Shiretoko Five Lakes tour, the rain stopped, and the mountains reflected beautifully in the second lake, which was wonderful. In the afternoon tour, I was also able to see a mother deer and her fawn up close, which was moving. I definitely want to participate again next time.
雨の中のツアーでしたが、暑すぎず、また雨なのでか虫も少なく良かったです。ツアーガイドの方が熊や鹿、植物につい楽しい話をしていただいたのはもちろん、参加者みんなにクイズをしていただくなど、終始楽しませてきただけました。知床五湖ツアーの後半では雨も止み、二湖にキレイに山が映ってとても良かったです。また午後のツアーでは間近で野生の鹿の親子をみることもでき、感動しました。次回も是非参加したいです。

Due to the weather, the schedule and itinerary were changed, but they kindly consulted with me, and I was able to participate for half a day. The guide's stories were enjoyable and filled with love for Shiretoko. Please take me to different seasons and the places I couldn't visit this time.
天候により日程&行程が変更となったが親身に相談にのってくれて半日だけ参加出来ました。ガイドさんのお話は知床愛溢れる楽しいものでした。別の季節そして今回行けなかった場所へまたご案内下さいネ。

The weather was uncertain, and there were places we couldn't explore around the lake, but it was truly a fun experience to have unique adventures and strolls with our kind guide during that season! I would love to book here again next time. Thank you very much!
不安な天気で、湖も回れないとこもありましたが、その時期だからこその体験や散策も優しいガイドさんとできて本当に楽しい体験でした!
次もここで予約したいと思います^_^
ありがとうございました

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!

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。

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。

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(・∀・)

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!

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。
