It's a waste to only visit Shiretoko Five Lakes.

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(・∀・)

If you are confident in your physical strength and your goal is to visit the five lakes, I strongly recommend applying during the Golden Week period.

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.… During the Golden Week, the weather can be unstable, leading to road closures at Shiretoko Pass and cancellations of sightseeing boat services.

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.

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。

I think I would have just passed by without noticing the types of trees, reasons for the scars, and the terrain without the guide. The guide was particularly excited about a rare large ant nest, which was amusing! It was a lot of fun hiking because I was able to notice details that I definitely wouldn't have on my own.木の種類、キズがある理由、地形、、、どれもガイドさん無しでは気にもならず通り過ぎていたと思います。
珍しい大きなアリの巣に、ガイドさんが1番食いついていました笑
個人では、絶対気づかないような細かい所に気がつくため、とても楽しくハイキングできました。

We quickly turned back to the entrance and changed our plans to go trekking in the afternoon, visiting Shiretoko Five Lakes then. The guide provided the necessary explanations, but to be honest, I wished there had been more detailed information that someone knowledgeable could have shared without me having to ask questions. The trekking course included places that are hard to access on your own, which was very nice. If I participate again, since this is not a cheap tour, I would want to choose a guide with higher reviews. 午前中、知床五湖を訪れようとレクチャー後に入り口を入りましたが100メートルほどでガイドさんの無線機に熊が五湖で出たと言う情報が入りました。すぐに入り口に引き返し午後予定されていたトレッキングに急遽変更となり、午後知床5湖を訪れました。ガイドさんの説明は必要な分はありましたが欲を言うと、こちらから質問しなくても、もう少し詳しく勉強している方だからこそ知っている情報をもっといろいろ知りたかったです。トレッキングのコースは自分ではなかなか行けない場所もありとてもよかったです。次回参加するとすれば、安いツ… 午前中、知床五湖を訪れようとレクチャー後に入り口を入りましたが100メートルほどでガイドさんの無線機に熊が五湖で出たと言う情報が入りました。すぐに入り口に引き返し午後予定されていたトレッキングに急遽変更となり、午後知床5湖を訪れました。ガイドさんの説明は必要な分はありましたが欲を言うと、こちらから質問しなくても、もう少し詳しく勉強している方だからこそ知っている情報をもっといろいろ知りたかったです。トレッキングのコースは自分ではなかなか行けない場所もありとてもよかったです。次回参加するとすれば、安いツアーではないので口コミ評価のもっと高いガイドさんを選びたいと思ってしまいます。

In the afternoon, we went trekking in the primeval forest. There were no walking paths in the forest, and it was challenging to navigate the animal trails, but it was fun. I encountered wild Ezo deer several times. The leaves were starting to change color, and I thought it would be nice to visit again in a different season. 8月中旬に参加。
天気は曇り時々雨、たまに小雨の日でした。気温は16℃と少し肌寒さを感じる位でしたが、東京から来ていた自分にとっては快適でした。
午前中は10名弱のグループで五湖をぐるっと周り(午前中のみの参加者はここで解散)、午後は原生林をトレッキングしました。原生林は遊歩道はなく、獣道を進んでいくのが大変だけど楽しかった。野生のエゾシカに何度か遭遇しました。葉が色づき始めていて、また違う季節にも訪れてみたいなと思いました。

I participated alone, but I felt at ease with a female guide. She taught me perspectives on how to view the forest, tips for nature observation, and ways to engage, which will be useful not only in Shiretoko but also in the future.一人での参加でしたが、女性のガイドさんで安心できました。森の見方、自然観察の視点、関わり方など、知床以外でもこれから役に立つ知識や考え方などを、教えてもらえました。

I participated alone, but I walked with a group of about 10 people. The guide made the walk enjoyable by providing explanations and incorporating quizzes while observing nature. Although we hardly saw any animals at Shiretoko Goko, we were able to observe Ezo deer and chipmunks on the afternoon course through the primeval forest. We also spotted a brown bear while traveling by car. It seems that the course will be closed for a while, so it was great to see it from the car.私は1人参加でしたが、全体で10人ほどのグループで歩きました。ガイドさんが、解説や所々クイズを交えて自然観察をしながら楽しく歩けました。また、知床五湖では動物はほとんど見かけませんでしたが、午後の原生林のコースではエゾシカやシマリスを観察できました。また、車で移動中にヒグマも見ることが出来ました。コースに出てくるとコースがしばらく閉鎖になるそうなので、車から見られて良かったです。

The weather was disappointing at the start of the trekking due to rain and fog, but I was able to enjoy it thanks to our guide, Mr. Umebayashi's explanations. The continuous rain had made the trails and the primeval forest quite muddy, so the inclusion of rubber boots for rent was really helpful. I would like to visit again in a different season.トレッキングのスタート時は雨と霧で残念な天気でしたが、ガイドの梅林さんの説明で楽しむことが出来ました。連日の雨で遊歩道や原生林はぬかるみが多く、長靴の貸し出しも含まれていたので、本当に助かりました。また今度は別の季節に訪れてみたいと思います。

I would like to visit Shiretoko in a different season as well.原生林のツアーは少人数でガイドさんも詳しく説明してくださって参加してとてもよかったです。午後からの知床五湖はクマの出没で待ち時間が長くなりましたが、結局歩くことができてよかったです。また知床には違う季節に行ってみたいと思います。

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。… 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。

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。

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。

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！

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。

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… 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！
