Kushiro Marsh

Kushiro Marsh

Kushiro Wetland is Japan's largest wetland, spreading over 28,788 hectares in eastern Hokkaido, with 7,863 hectares designated as a Ramsar site. It is home to endangered wildlife such as the wild Japanese crane (tanchō) and the white-tailed eagle (ojiro-washi), offering beautiful natural scenery. From six observation points, visitors can observe the rich landscapes and ecosystems that change with the seasons. From spring to autumn, you can enjoy stunning views of the wetland aboard the "Kushiro Wetland Norokkō Train," allowing you to immerse yourself in the scenery throughout the year. The canoe tours on the Kushiro River provide a close-up experience of unspoiled nature. With approximately 700 plant species and 1,300 animal species, Kushiro Wetland is an attractive tourist destination where you can connect with the great outdoors.
