Canoe on Touro Lake and Kushiro River Descent from Shitoro

The canoe tour departing from Touro Lake in Shitoro Town and floating down the Kushiro River is the best way to experience the Kushiro Wetlands. During approximately 2 hours of river descent, you have a high probability of encountering wildlife such as red-crowned cranes, Ezo deer, and white-tailed eagles. Since you simply ride in a canoe operated by a guide, even beginners can feel at ease. The wetland views seen from the winding river surface reveal a completely different primordial world compared to what you see from an observation tower. The early morning tour through morning mist is particularly magical.
