Utoro Onsen

Staying at a World Natural Heritage site is also valuable! This is where you can start your tour of Shiretoko's sightseeing spots.

Utoro Onsen, one of the most popular hot springs in Shiretoko, is a hot spring resort where large hotels and private inns gather as a base for sightseeing in Shiretoko. Because the Shiretoko peninsula is located on top of the Chishima Volcanic Zone, high quality hot water boils out of it. There are various features such as a view of the Sea of Okhotsk from the upper floors, free-flowing spring water, and villa-type hotels. The hotel is conveniently located near the arrival and departure points of sightseeing boats, and is visited by many people from all over Japan regardless of the season. The Shiretoko Five Lakes, numerous waterfalls, drift ice, and other attractions of Shiretoko are too numerous to mention! Don't forget to do your research before you go.
