Shari

Why visit

Visit Shari for access to Shiretoko and eastern Hokkaido’s wild edge. The appeal is not a town checklist, but bears, coast, lakes, drift ice, roads, and national-park logistics. It works when the Japan trip has room for distance and nature rather than only cities.

When to avoid

Do not visit Shari casually. Shiretoko access, weather, transport, and seasonal closures need planning. If you are not going into the peninsula or surrounding nature, Shari is probably too far for the payoff.
