About this event
Shiretoko Fantasia is the Shiretoko-Shari tourism association's winter night event at the Oronko Rock site in Utoro Onsen, where beams of light and drifting smoke recreate the aurora seen over Shiretoko in 1958. The association's event page gives the season as early February to late March, open daily 20:00 to 20:20; exact 2027 dates had not been published at verification, so the window shown follows that pattern.
