Kushiro Shitsugen National Park
A national park with a vast expanse of magnificent nature
This natural park was the first wetland in Japan to be inscribed under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. As the wetland was designated as a national natural monument in 1967, access has been strictly limited and the beautiful scenery has been conserved. As there are several observation decks in the national park, visitors can enjoy the magnificent views of Hokkaido. The park is also a valuable habitat for the Japanese crane, designated as a special natural monument by the national government, as well as for various animals and plants.
