#AugustDestinations2025 If you're in Hokkaido and want to experience the true beauty of the wilderness, Kushiro Wetlands is a must-visit. Japan's largest wetland, its vast expanse stretches as far as the eye can see. The winding Kushiro River weaves through grasslands and marshes like a ribbon, quietly telling the story of time. Each season offers captivating scenery: lush greenery in summer, the tranquility of white snow in winter, swaying golden silver grass in autumn, and the promising burst of new buds in spring. It's also home to the red-crowned cranes; with luck, you can spot their graceful dance in the morning mist. Tomy particularly enjoys strolling along the wooden boardwalk, watching the sunlight cast a golden glow across the wetland river; or taking a canoe trip, feeling the gentle breeze caressing your face and the rhythm of the water's ripples. Kushiro Wetlands is more than just a tourist attraction; it's a living painting, a flowing poem that beckons you to return again and again to rediscover the purest touch of nature.
