The shiretoko mountain range 知床五湖 Shiretoko National Park (UNESCO World Heritage Site)

            Shiretoko National Park (知床国立公園 Shiretoko Kokuritsu Kōen) covers most of the Shiretoko Peninsula at the northeastern tip of the island of Hokkaidō, Japan. The word "Shiretoko" is derived from an Ainu word "sir etok", meaning "the place where the earth protrudes".

I was surprised when I saw this as it was written in English and Chinese but not Japanese.  Perhaps it was a reason for it or the Japanese language is originated from China.

Today is the Chinese New Year day (Year of the Rat in 2020) of Chinese zodiac animals.  I wish you all healthy and lucky the year of the Rat and  Kung Hei Fat Choi (恭喜發財).
