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.
