Hokkaido World Natural Heritage Site: Shiretoko in winter - Stroll around Furepe Falls❗️There are deer here too

Enjoying winter in Shiretoko, a World Natural Heritage Site in Hokkaido❗️

I played with deer at Furepe Falls, one of the Eight Scenic Views of Shiretoko!

Furepe Falls is about a 20-minute walk from the Shiretoko Nature Center!

*It's quite far, so it's better to walk with plenty of time for the bus❗️

✅Furepe Falls

This waterfall is not made by a river, but by rain and snow that falls on the Shiretoko Mountain Range, which seeps into the ground and trickles down through the cracks.

Because of this, it looks like tears as it falls little by little, so it's also called ✅maiden's tears

This time, I went in winter, so I walked wearing ✅snowshoes

to prevent my feet from sinking in the deep snow!

Because of this, it took longer than usual

And this is Shiretoko, a World Natural Heritage Site.

There were deer 🦌 wandering around lol

Oh! Of course, this is a habitat for brown bears, so don't forget to make noise and shout as you go❗️
