Shiretoko Five Lakes, Hokkaido, Japan; 1 September 2018; Wilderness and unspoiled nature at the Five Shiretoko Lakes, part of the Shiretoko National Park in Hokkaido, Japan. The Shiretoko Five Lakes (Shiretoko Goko) are a set of five small lakes formed long ago by the eruption of nearby Mount Io and fed by underground springs. Looking like the result of a god's five fingerprints, the five lakes offer beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and wilderness, and provide visitors an easy way to experience Shiretoko's unspoiled nature.
