World Heritage Site - Shiretoko

Heaven for outdoor activities
If you want to experience the nature of Japan, please come to visit Shiretoko!
Watch out for wild animals!
Remember to pay extra attention on the animals when driving here!
Point 1 - Don't stop your car on the road
It is very dangerous if you stop your car whenever you see an animal near the road since this may cause accidents.
Point 2 - Don't feed the wild animals
There is a fox looking at us! However, feeding the wild animals is prohibited in Shiretoko!
The reason for that is because once the wild animals get used to eat our food, they will start going to houses and look for food there. It is very dangerous to the local people who live here!
Point 3 - Wild bears may appear!
You can see these kinds of signs in Hokkaido everywhere, so please don't get out of your car and walk in the woods since the chance to get attack by bears are really high!!
In the picture, it is the salmon that bears like to eat. This fish can swim 50 km per hour the fastest. The largest size is around 3 meters long and 500 kg in weight!! However, if you see it, please get away immediately, since bears may appear suddenly!!
Delicious Shiretoko Bear Meat
In order to control the numbers of bears and protect the crops and humans, there is a fixed period which bear hunting is allowed. Clothes, bags made with bear skin are famous here, of course cuisine made with bear meat too.
Bear and Melon
Hokkaido is famous for the crops, and Yubai's melon is the most popular one among all!
And that's how the mascot "Melon Bear" is created!!
