Shigure Waterfall (時雨滝; Shigure Falls) was a conspicuous roadside geothermal-heated waterfall situated on the northern end Utoro on Shiretoko’s West Coast.

Seseki Waterfall (セセキの滝; Seseki Falls) was a rather obscure but tall seaside waterfall spilling into a sleepy village on the eastern coast of Shiretoko.
