The Shiretoko Crossing Road (National Route 334) traverses the Shiretoko Peninsula, connecting Utoro and Rausu. This scenic route offers breathtaking views of the Shiretoko mountain range and, on clear days, Kunashir Island. The road is generally open from late April to early November, with winter closures due to heavy snow. The Shiretoko Pass, the highest point on the road, is a popular spot for panoramic views of Mount Rausu. Be aware that conditions can change rapidly, with fog and limited visibility common. Drive carefully and enjoy the stunning natural beauty.
