Personalized and Full-tailored Tokachi Bird-Watching Tour with a Local Guide
A trip to find wild birds at Urahoro Town; a place abundant of migrating wild birds
An ecosystem nurtured by the downstream area of Tokachi River. Since the mountain, the river, and the sea are all near and compact, it will not take a long time to see the different kinds of wild birds that habituate each area. “I want to take my time watching plenty of wild birds.”; we are ready to provide service fit for requests like this.
You can also see quintessential birds of the eastern region such as the Japanese crane, Steller's sea eagle and white-tailed eagle.
In the season when the Hokkaido salmon lays its eggs, wild predatory birds such as the Steller’s sea eagle and white-tailed eagle swarm to prey on these eggs. You have the opportunity to watch this swift and powerful sight.On the bank of a stream is a large tree where more or less than 20 birds are perched and it is a majestic sight to see.
A knowledgeable local guide can accurately guide you to observation points.
Every season we are fascinated by these birds. Local guides who have been observing wild birds for a long time at this area will be happy to guide you to the point where they are located.
