This is a special plan where you can observe and photograph birds while riding in a canoe.
It takes about 17km(Kushiro River longest course) long and takes 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours slowly from the middle stream of Kushiro Marsh to the downstream area.
* When the wind is strong, it will guide you to the upper part of the marshland, which is less affected by wind.
Here is a video image of a canoe tour.
Grace Field appears at the beginning of the video.
* We will choose a canoe to use. Please let us know your weight.
