Journeys in Japan: 5x23

Outdoor Hokkaido Part 2: Into the Wilds of Kushiro

Kushiro Shitsugen, Japan’s largest wetland, is a rich habitat for rare flora and fauna. Our traveler Dean Newcombe will explore the vast marshland by canoe with a veteran guide, observing the wildlife at close range and camping out at night. Later Dean continues on to Lake Kussharo, where he enjoys hot springs and a stay at a youth hostel. On his last day, he explores the Sakura Falls and observes more magnificent nature. On Journeys in Japan, we’ll experience the heartbeat of Kushiro!
