Shiretoko World Heritage Rusa Field House

Learn about the World Natural Heritage "Shiretoko"!

At the "Shiretoko World Heritage Rusa Field House," mountaineers and sea kayakers (navigating the sea using paddles) aiming for the remote areas of Shiretoko Peninsula, such as Shiretoko Cape and Shiretoko-dake, are provided with the latest local information, rules, and etiquette.

There are also exhibits on the relationship between the marine and terrestrial ecosystems and the history of human interaction with the sea in Shiretoko. From the observation space, you might be lucky enough to spot dolphins, whales, or orcas through telescopes.

It is a rare spot globally where you can observe cetaceans from land.
