The Shiretoko Rausu Visitor Center provides a variety of information and lectures to help you learn more about and enjoy the World Natural Heritage site of Shiretoko.

Unlike most tourist destinations, Shiretoko's pristine natural environment has few guides and navigation systems, which can be confusing at times.
The natural conditions can change from moment to moment, so it is important to obtain information in real time. Before visiting Shiretoko, please visit the Shiretoko Rausu Visitor Center.

The center also serves as a museum where you can learn more about Shiretoko's nature. You will be able to enjoy Shiretoko even more if you learn about the animals, plants, and scenic spots here before actually visiting them.
The whole body skeletal specimen of a killer whale is a must-see!
