Enjoying the great outdoors in extreme cold!

I walked through the empty, natural forest on snowshoes. Occasionally, I spotted birds or saw animal tracks in the snow and learned what kind of tracks they were. In this great outdoors, I encountered red foxes and deer while also learning about animal ecology. At Furepe Falls, a strong wind blew, drastically lowering the perceived temperature and allowing me to experience the harshness of winter in Shiretoko. After that, since I had no physical issues, I was guided to a place called "Men's Tear… I walked through the empty, natural forest on snowshoes.

In this great outdoors, I encountered red foxes and deer while also learning about animal ecology. At Furepe Falls, a strong wind blew, drastically lowering the perceived temperature and allowing me to experience the harshness of winter in Shiretoko. After that, since I had no physical issues, I was guided to a place called "Men's Tears." The view of the Sea of Okhotsk and the steep coastline of the Shiretoko Peninsula from here was breathtaking. The staff provided detailed guidance, presenting materials at various points despite the cold, which made it easy to understand. In hindsight, I thought I could have dressed a bit warmer. Thank you very much. 誰もいない大自然の森の中をスノーシュでテクテク歩く。 時々鳥を見つけたり雪の中の動物の足跡を見て何の足跡か教わる。 そんな大自然の中でキタキツネや鹿と出会いながら動物の生態についても教わる。 フレペの滝では強烈な風が吹いていて一気に体感温度を下げ冬の知床の厳しさを体感した。 その後体力的に問題なかったので男の涙という所まで案内していただいた。 ここから見るオホーツク海と切立った知床半島の海岸線が絶景だった。 スタッフの方々は寒い中でも所々で資料を出しながら丁寧に案内してくれ分かりやすかった。 反省としてはもう… 誰もいない大自然の森の中をスノーシュでテクテク歩く。 時々鳥を見つけたり雪の中の動物の足跡を見て何の足跡か教わる。 そんな大自然の中でキタキツネや鹿と出会いながら動物の生態についても教わる。 フレペの滝では強烈な風が吹いていて一気に体感温度を下げ冬の知床の厳しさを体感した。 その後体力的に問題なかったので男の涙という所まで案内していただいた。 ここから見るオホーツク海と切立った知床半島の海岸線が絶景だった。 スタッフの方々は寒い中でも所々で資料を出しながら丁寧に案内してくれ分かりやすかった。 反省としてはもう少し着込んでもよかったかなぁ、と思いました。 ありがとうございました。

Dear Saeko,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. We also sincerely appreciate your generous review and wonderful experience story.
Shiretoko has its own beauty in every season. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit. Thank you once again.
It's warm to put ski pants inside your boots. Those who left the cuffs of their pants outside said their feet were cold and painful. I was so comfortable and had so much fun that I wanted to walk more. There were many deer. We were blessed with good weather, and we could see Rausu-dake clearly, which was moving. 長靴の中にスキーズボンいれると暖かいです。 ズボンの裾を外に出していた人は足が寒くて痛かったそうです。 私はもっと歩きたかったくらい快適で楽しかったです。鹿がたくさんいました。 天気に恵まれ 羅臼岳もくっきり見えて感動的でした。

It was my first time in Shiretoko, and I had no experience with snowshoeing, but the guide's explanations were very thorough and easy to understand. It was a fulfilling experience that went by in no time. The guide's passion for nature and animals was evident, and I learned a lot as well. I would love to participate again in the summer.初めての知床、スノーシューの経験も無い状態で参加させてもらいましたが、ガイドの方の説明がとても丁寧でわかりやすく、とても充実した、あっという間の時間でした。ガイドの方の自然や動物達に対する熱意が伝わってきて、こちらも沢山学ぶことができました。また夏に参加したいです。

I made a last-minute reservation at 9 PM the day before. It was amazing to go to the flat without any issues! There were six participants, and besides me, everyone was from Taiwan and China. The guide, who was only 30 years old, spoke English very well! He was attentive and engaged each participant in conversation, adjusting the pace as needed. There were some older participants, but he created an atmosphere where everyone cheered together, making it a fun three hours!

The guide had a wonderful smile! I’ll definitely request him again next time! 前日21時急遽予約しました。 何もなしでフラット行けて最高😃 参加者は6人！私以外は台湾🇹🇼と中国🇨🇳の方でした。 ガイドのお兄さんは30歳と若いのに、英語も上手！気配りができて、参加者一人一人に話題を振って話したり、ペース調整をしてくれました。高齢の方も居ましたが、みんなで応援📣する雰囲気を作ってくれ、楽しい3時間となりました！
