Watch Wild Hokkaido! Season 2 Episode 16 Online

Our stage this time is the Kushiro River, flowing from the second-largest lake in Hokkaido, Lake Kussharo. The Kushiro River stretches around 150 kilometers. Without a dam in its entire length, it is known for its calm waters, and downstream, Japan’s largest wetlands called the Kushiro Marsh spreads forth. Our program host takes a canoe tour starting at the river source in Lake Kussharo and experiences firsthand the “crystal clear underwater world” of the spring-fed streams. After that, watch rare footage of the wildlife of the serene waters of the Kushiro River.
