Overview

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.

Activity itinerary

kushiro WASHOU market
  • 30m
Explore Kushiro’s lively seafood market, famous for its fresh catches and local specialties. Walk among colorful stalls where locals shop daily, and experience the atmosphere of one of Japan’s few markets where visitors can build their own “Katte-don” rice bowl. Even if you are full from breakfast, it’s a fun place to see local life and taste small bites.
Hosooka Observation
  • 30m
Enjoy a sweeping view of the vast Kushiro Marsh, Japan’s largest wetland and a Ramsar-listed site. The view from Hosooka Observatory stretches endlessly across the marshlands, rivers, and skies. Stop at the Visitor’s Lounge to learn about the marsh’s unique ecosystem, its seasonal changes, and wildlife before heading deeper into the wetland area.
Kushiro Marsh Observatory
  • 1h 30m
Visit the main observatory with interactive exhibits about the wetland’s flora and fauna, then follow the wooden trail through the forest to the Satellite Observatory. The 90-minute visit allows time for a gentle hike and quiet observation of the marsh. With some luck, you may spot the elegant Japanese red-crowned cranes (Tancho) in their natural habitat, a rare and unforgettable experience in Hokkaido.
Kushiro Fisherman's Wharf Moo
  • 50m
Have lunch with local dishes such as fresh seafood bowls or Kushiro-style grilled fish, then enjoy browsing the shops for regional souvenirs and specialties. The building faces the waterfront and offers a lively atmosphere where you can relax, taste Hokkaido ice cream, or pick up unique gifts before returning to the port.
Nusamai Bridge
  • 15m
Take photos at this iconic bridge, a beloved symbol of Kushiro. Known for its elegant four bronze statues and famous sunsets, the bridge offers a scenic backdrop of the river and city skyline. Even a short stop here gives travelers a lasting memory of Kushiro’s charm.
