Kushiro Wetland

Overview

Our stage today has the largest surface area of its kind in Japan, the Kushiro Wetlands. Our host will canoe down a river that flows through that wetland. Due to the quietness of canoes, it is ideal for observing wild animals. We encounter sika deers and white-tailed eagles, whose wingspan can reach up to 2 meters. In addition, we will witness the rare footage of a red-crowned crane couple warming up their eggs, as well as Siberian salamanders laying their eggs that can only be found in this area in Japan. Please enjoy the great nature of the vast Kushiro Wetlands.
