With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Shari, 20 miles away, has to offer. Utoro Onsen ought to be toward the top of your list here. Oshin Koshin no Taki Falls and Oronko Rock are terrific attractions too. Abashiri is another popular option. It’s 20 miles away and has tons of intriguing things to see and do. Abashiri Prison Museum, Abashiri Lake View Ski Resort and Okhotsk Ryuhyo Museum are only the start.
