Lake Akan is a nature-rich caldera lake located in Akan Mashu National Park in eastern Hokkaido. This lake is known for its rare spherical marimo moss balls that grow in colonies and has been designated as a Special Natural Monument. The lakeshore is home to the Akan Hot Springs, and the Akan Ainu Kotan in the hot spring town, where visitors can experience the traditional culture of the Ainu, Hokkaido's indigenous people, is also very popular. Taking a sightseeing boat allows you to admire the magnificent nature from the lake, and at the Marimo Exhibition and Observation Center on Churui Island, you can observe precious marimo algae.Kushiro City · 57.1 km from downtown

Red-crowned cranes pass through Lake Akan in winter, so the Akan International Red-crowned Crane Center was specially set up on the shore of Lake Akan. In addition to conducting research on related work here, there is also an artificial breeding ground. There is also a library and a screening room in the International Crane Center, so that interested people can visit and learn about the ecology and habits of red-crowned cranes. The newly born red-crowned crane is a rare sight. Visitors who have the opportunity to travel to Lake Akan or Kushiro should not miss it.Kushiro City · 25.8 km from downtown

The observation deck is located on the east side of the Kushiro Wetland, where the transportation is convenient and the view is very good. From here, you can not only see the Kushiro River winding through the wetlands, but also the Akan Mountains in the distance.Kushiro Town · 13.8 km from Kushiro City

Eastern Hokkaido is the main habitat of red-crowned cranes. Although they look like fairies who do not care about worldly things, they actually love to eat corn. When they first arrived here, they ate all the corn in Ms. Watanabe Tome's farm. Since 1963, Ms. Tome and her son have insisted on feeding the red-crowned cranes in this special feeding area.

It may be because of the heavy snow, we were the only ones on the street except for the white snow, and most of the shops along the street were closed. We arrived at the Bimai Bridge and saw the riverbed covered with winter fog and the bridge covered with snow.

If you like to see red-crowned cranes, this is the right place to go. There are a lot of red-crowned cranes here in winter. Except for a few captive red-crowned cranes, most of them come here to look for food in winter. The local government regularly feeds the red-crowned cranes every year, so these cranes come regularly. I saw more than 50 of them when I went there that day. Some swans flying from Siberia also come here to feed. It's very convenient to go here. You can buy tickets at the bus terminal next to Kushiro JR Station, plan and buy a return shuttle bus together, and one hour is enough for you to visit.

It is worth seeing. The light purple light between the red and blue halos is so beautiful. It is really enjoyable to look at it a few more times after taking pictures. Nature is really amazing!

It is one of the few wetlands in Japan and is popular as a prefectural nature park. It was designated as a wetland at the Allies Conference of the Rasamre Convention (Treaty on Internationally Important Wetlands as Waterbird Habitat) held in Kushiro City in June 1993. As the seasons change, the white snow gradually melts in spring and turns into a scene of greenery. From summer to autumn, various flowers bloom all over the mountains and fields, known as flower marshes. In winter, it turns into a white snow scene, which can sometimes be seen. Saw red-crowned cranes and giant eagles.
