Population：4,300
Rausu Town, located on the eastern side of the Shiretoko Peninsula at Hokkaido's northeastern tip, is a gateway to world-class wilderness. With 95% of its land covered in forest, the town is nestled between the majestic Shiretoko Mountains, including Mt. Rausu, and the sea facing Kunashiri Island. While remote, it is accessible via Nakashibetsu Airport, just an hour's drive away. The town is defined by its dramatic geography and a marine climate that moderates temperatures, offering a life in harmony with the vast, untouched nature of a World Heritage site.
