Shiretoko Nature Center !

by Kazu

Have you ever heard of "Barist Art Coffee" ? I found a new coffee shop opened in the Nature Center near Shiretoko Pass in Utoro area of Shari Town. It seemed that Caucasian people were running the coffee shop and the logos were so sophisticated and impressive.

I chose a strawberry & Jersey cheese cream BOBA. Shiretoko mountain range could be seen from the cafe in the Nature Center. It was so fine on that day that the scenery of the peninsula looked so nicer than in the fog. 

Every year, so many tourists from the other parts on this globe swamp to the peninsula but not so much this year. My wife and I used to visit this area every year before the peninsula was listed on the World Natural Heritage but after the registration, so many regulations were obliged. We have to abide by the new rules to preserve the abundant nature and hand it down to next generation.
