セタカムイとはアイヌ語で犬の神様という意である。漁に出たまま帰らぬ人となった主人を待ち続けて遠吠えしている姿なのだという。

Our family went to Shakotan last weekend and dropped in Setakamui rock at Furubira town on our way back to Sapporo.
"Setakamui" means the "Deity of Dog" in Ainu. The rock depicts the dog which has been waiting for its master who went fishing and never came back again.
