Tsurui Village, located in Eastern Hokkaido, is one of the best places to observe the majestic red-crowned cranes, designated as a Special Natural Monument of Japan. Join our experienced guides from Picchio Shiretoko to witness the breathtaking sight of these cranes in their natural habitat. Afterward, enjoy a scenic drive through the Kushiro Marsh, where you may also encounter Yezo sika deer, Ezo red fox, White tailed eagles, Steller’s sea eagles and other native wildlife. This tour has everything you need for a perfect experience — full transportation from Kushiro City, a knowledgeable and experienced English-speaking guide and high-quality binoculars for wildlife observation.

This tour offers the perfect balance of Kushiro’s highlights in just one day. Unlike standard city tours, you will explore the vast Kushiro Marsh from two different observatories, experiencing its diverse landscapes and wildlife. The 90-minute walk to the Satellite Observatory allows for an immersive encounter with nature, with the possibility of spotting the graceful Japanese red-crowned cranes in their natural habitat. Adding to this, Washo Market introduces you to local food culture, while Fisherman’s Wharf MOO provides a chance to taste regional dishes and shop for souvenirs. The tour ends with a short stop at Nusamai Bridge, a beloved landmark especially known for its sunsets. By blending nature, cuisine, and local life, this experience gives you a deeper connection to Kushiro than a typical time.
