Shiretoko National Park Cam

Category: Harbor

Shiretoko National Park covers most of the Shiretoko Peninsula at the northeastern tip of the island of Hokkaidō, Japan. The word “Shiretoko” is an Ainu word meaning “end of the earth”.
One of the most remote regions in all of Japan, much of the peninsula is only accessible on foot or by boat. The forests of the park are temperate and subalpine mixed forests; the main tree species include fir (Abies sachalinensis), Erman’s Birch and Mongolian Oak. Beyond the forest limit there are impenetrable Siberian Dwarf Pine thickets.
