Kushiro Wetland in Harsh Winter

Wild Hokkaido! • Season 3 • Episode 8

About this episode

Our stage this time is Kushiro Wetland, Japan's largest wetland. Our program host, Charlotte Kate Fox, rides a canoe to explore the river that never freezes even in winter because of the abundant springs. She encounters Japan's largest bird of prey, the Steller's sea eagle, and sees a dynamic view of the frozen lake, where ice cracks have risen up. Additionally, we show you precious footage of red-crowned cranes that live in the wetlands.
