Shiranuka

Shiranuka occupies a low Pacific coastal plain in eastern Hokkaido Prefecture. The town faces the open Pacific Ocean, while the Shiranuka River runs from the interior to the coast, bringing farmland and forested uplands close to the shore. It lies west of Kushiro, in a part of Hokkaido shaped by a cool maritime climate and broad, sparsely settled horizons. Shiranuka also has long-standing ties to Ainu culture; the Shiranuka Ainu Museum presents materials relating to the area’s Indigenous people. Fishing and local seafood remain important to everyday life here. Continue to other webcams in eastern Hokkaido to compare coastal towns and inland settings around Shiranuka.
