About Kushiro

Kushiro is a fishing port on Hokkaido's Pacific coast, gateway to Japan's largest wetland and home of the red-crowned crane.

Kushiro sits at the mouth of the Kushiro River on the south-east coast of Hokkaido, a working port where summer sea fog rolls in and keeps the air cool. North of the city, Kushiro Shitsugen National Park protects the largest wetland in Japan, a flat expanse of reeds, marsh and small lakes crossed by boardwalks, where the red-crowned crane, known in Japanese as tancho, can be seen.
