Mt. Rausu Iwaobetsu Trailhead
Challenge the highest peak of the Shiretoko Mountain Range! The majestic Mt. Rausu
Standing at 1,661 meters, Mt. Rausu is one of Japan's 100 famous mountains and 100 famous flower mountains, and it is the highest peak on the Shiretoko Peninsula. Despite the harsh environment where snow remains even in summer, many alpine plants bloom in late July. Starting from the Iwaobetsu Hot Spring, the trail passes through dense forests and snowy valleys, aiming for the summit. With relatively little elevation gain, it is popular among nature lovers. The trailhead area is equipped with parking and toilets, and bear precautions such as carrying bear bells and bear repellent spray are recommended. From the summit, a breathtaking panorama extends to Kunashiri Island. Note that a climbing registration is required.
