About Shiretoko National Park
Shiretoko National Park covers most of the Shiretoko Peninsula at the northeastern tip of the island of Hokkaido, Japan. The word "Shiretoko" is derived from an Ainu word "sir etok", meaning "the place where the earth protrudes". One of the most remote regions in Japan, the peninsula is accessible only on foot or by boat. Shiretoko is best known as the home of Japan's largest population of brown bears, and for offering views of Kunashiri Island, ownership of which Japan and Russia dispute.
