Mount Shari, Stratovolcano in Shiretoko Peninsula, Japan

Mount Shari rises to 1,547 meters above sea level, featuring three designated climbing trails through dense forest and rocky terrain to its summit.

The mountain formed during the Quaternary period through volcanic activity, with its last eruption occurring approximately 250,000 years ago.

The Ainu people named this mountain Onnenupuri, reflecting their deep connection to the land through language and traditional beliefs.

The climbing season spans from late June to September, with access to trails starting at Seigakuso mountain hut, which accommodates 50 visitors.

From the summit, visitors can observe five distinct landscapes: the Shiretoko Range, Kunashiri Island, Lake Mashu, Lake Kussharo, and Notsuke Peninsula.
