Our stage this time is the Kushiro River, flowing from the second largest lake in Hokkaido, Lake Kussharo. The Kushiro River stretches around 150 kilometers. Without a dam in its entire length, it is known for its calm waters, and downstream, Japan’s largest wetlands called the Kushiro Marsh spreads forth. Our program host takes a canoe tour starting at the river source in Lake Kussharo and experiences firsthand the “crystal clear underwater world” of the spring fed streams. After that, watch rare footage of the wildlife of the serene waters of the Kushiro River.
