Intertwined Lives on Sea and Shore: Shiretoko, Hokkaido

The Shiretoko Peninsula, located in eastern Hokkaido Prefecture, juts into the Sea of Okhotsk. Its center is lined by 1,500-meter peaks. The heavily forested area is home to a diverse group of animals, including the Blakiston's fish owl, which is at imminent risk of extinction. Shiretoko's waters are home to creatures who feed off the bounty of floating pack ice. Explore an extraordinary ecosystem which connects the rich environments of both land and sea.
