Shiretoko, where Shari Town is located, is blessed with unspoiled natural beauty for which it was designated as a World Natural Heritage site. Since ancient times, people here have lived in harmony with nature. The Shiretoko Museum features the nature and history of Shiretoko and the lives of local residents. Exhibits also include those about Shari’s sister town, Taketomi, in Okinawa Prefecture and Shari’s friendship municipality, Hirosaki City, in Aomori Prefecture.
