知床五湖 / hiretoko Goko

知床五湖（位於斜里町）是在知床的原始森林當中聚集的五個湖泊，是知床的主要觀光景點之一。春季到夏季棕熊常常在這裡被目擊到。使用高架木製遊憩步道可以避免碰到棕熊。要使用地面的遊憩步道需要參加講解課程。自駕來訪時停車場需要另外收費。有導遊陪同的徒步觀光行程（額外付費）也很熱門。

Shiretoko Goko (Shari Town) is in the World Natural Heritage primitive forest of Shiretoko. Goko means five lakes in English. Five lakes are in a tight cluster, and are one of the main tourist drawcards in the area. From spring to autumn, Higuma, Hokkaido’s native brown bear and the biggest land mammal in Japan, can be frequently sighted. There are two boardwalk paths; one at more than 5 meters high, with the other at ground level. Prior to setting out on the ground level path, visitors need to attend a lecture. There is a charge for parking. Tours with guides are also popular.
