The magnificent natural world of Hokkaido

It takes just over an hour's drive from the nearest Memanbetsu Airport to reach the town of Shiretoko. Surrounded by sea and mountains, driving further in you can see the vast natural scenery of Shiretoko Park and Shiretoko Pass. As you cross Shiretoko Pass, you can relax at hot springs along the way. Once you cross the pass, you'll see a different townscape, and the ocean that looks different from the Sea of ​​Japan to the Pacific Ocean. It's an irresistible environment for nature lovers, and you can see amazing views on a drive without having to exert a lot of energy by hiking, so I'd definitely like to visit again. It was August at the time, but the temperature was in the low 20s, so it could also be used as a summer resort.
