Shiretoko Peninsula, Japan’s final frontier, is the last kingdom of brown bears where their life in the wild can be observed.
Surrounded by the ocean, the Shiretoko Peninsula is densely inhabited by brown bears, which is proof that Shiretoko is blessed with abundant nature that can support the lives of various creatures. The program introduces the little known life of brown bears: the growth of brown bear cubs just out of hibernation, and their trout hunting in autumn.
