Overview
Kushiro is a city on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido. It’s known for the large Kushiro Marsh, home to deer, sea eagles, and Japanese cranes. A circular trail runs through the marsh from the Kushiro Marsh Observatory.
Description
The most populous city in eastern Hokkaidō, Kushiro is an industrial port that came to prominence thanks to its harbor, which remains relatively free of ice in winter. For travelers, it is a key transit hub for nearby Kushiro Wetlands National Park and, further north, Akan National Park.
