This is a photo TR on a 7km long hike from Iwaobetsu Onsen at 230m to Mount Rausu at 1661m, the highest peak in the Shiretoko Range. All the photos were taken by my daughter Hanna aka Fluffy, who - to my despair :) - has not logged into SP for years. She did this hike solo, out and back, on 29 August 2018. The area lies within Shiretoko National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site which encompasses half of the Shiretoko Peninsula in the northeast of the island of Hokkaido, Japan.
