information |
Furepe Waterfall drops down a steep cliff into the Sea of Okhotsk on the spectacular western coast of the Shiretoko Peninsula. The waterfall is fed by ground water, which surfaces just at the top of the waterfall, meaning that there is no visible river leading to it.
Furepe Waterfall can be reached in a pleasant 15-20 minute walk from the Shiretoko Nature Center. The center provides information and exhibits about the national park and is open daily 8:00 to 17:40 from mid April to mid October, 9:00 to 16:00 during the rest of the year. It includes a restaurant and souvenir shop.
