カウベリー - 斜里町

I visited at the end of October. It's been decades since I went there on a motorcycle during my student days, and there was so much information about Shiretoko that wasn't available back then. I bought plenty of souvenirs from the shop here and ended up buying too much, so I decided to have them sent to me by courier. Even after returning home, I enjoyed the delicious souvenirs while reminiscing about Utoro. The dorayaki was delicious with three different flavors such as crowberry and rosehip, all of them tasty. I would love to visit Shiretoko again, but maybe it's impossible. Shiretoko is the best.

Due to the road closure in Shiretoko, we had to stay at a hotel unexpectedly. During that time, we visited a roadside station nearby. The three-color bowl with salmon roe had large, bubble-like grains and was delicious.

This roadside station offers a wide range of souvenirs, including fresh seafood, in a building designed to resemble an old guardhouse that exudes a charming atmosphere. The station is moderately sized and well-equipped, but the early closing time can be a drawback, and the restaurant inside is only open during lunchtime, so be sure to plan accordingly. The souvenir selection is plentiful, so you won't have any trouble finding something to bring home.

キャンピングカーが多いです。車中泊は、やり易いです。面した道路は夜中もごくたまに通行する車があるので道路から離れた方が静かでいいとおもいます。ゴジラ岩や観光船、直ぐ横の川にはサケ？樺太マス？が遡上してきていますし、それを狙ったカモメも沢山集まっています。なかなか色々な見どころがある道の駅です。 ただ残念なのは、ここからカムイワッカ湯の滝までマイカーで行くつもりでしたが、マイカー規制で知床五湖の観光駐車場でバスに乗り換えなければならなくなったことです。 天候も悪い日だったので、カムイワッカは諦めました。残念です。
