Furepe Waterfall	# 6   of 9 most visited sights in Shiretoko
access  -  admission  -  reports  -  ratings  -  links

Furepe Waterfall seen from a sightseeing boat Furepe Waterfall (フレペの滝, Furepe-no-taki) 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 twenty minute walk from the Shiretoko Nature Center, which provides information and exhibits about the national park, as well as a restaurant and souvenir shop. The nature trail leads from the nature center through the forest and then over grassland to an observation deck on top of the cliff with views down onto the waterfall. Furepe Waterfall can also be viewed from sightseeing boat tours that depart from Utoro. Walking trail from the Shiretoko Nature Center to Furepe Waterfall Any Questions?
