Hokkaido Shari Town

Stay in Utoro Onsen

An onsen town facing the Sea of Okhotsk in Shari Town, Hokkaido, at the gateway to the Shiretoko Peninsula. Inns grew up here as a base for visiting Shiretoko, which is registered as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site. The slightly brownish chloride spring keeps your body warm for a long time. In summer there are the Shiretoko Five Lakes and sightseeing cruises; in winter, drift ice. Different natural scenery awaits in every season. Fresh seafood brought in at the port is also part of the pleasure of staying here.
