▶ Open this course as a map plan Rearrange on the map
⛔ The Shiretoko Pass (Route 334, Utoro–Rausu) is closed roughly early November to late April. Plans dated in that period automatically detour via Shari and Konpoku Pass.

How this course works

The route leaves Memanbetsu Airport at 9:00, visits each sight for a typical stay time and reaches the hotel by 18:00. Drive times are estimates; roads in Eastern Hokkaido are long and quiet, so keep a comfortable margin.

Hotels are examples near the last stop of each day, from Rakuten Travel listings. If your hotel is booked, enter its name when creating a plan; you can also change the start/end point (airports or your current location) and departure time.
