“A Day out in Nature”

Reiko was waiting for us at the ship pier with a warm smile on a glorious sunny morning. She took us in her car to the Crane reserve where we saw these beautiful birds and on to a walk through the wetlands where we encountered several deer - but luckily no bears! Shel described the creation of the wetlands and told us about the wildlife, including bears which we didn't know inhabited this region. She then took us to the Kushiro fish market and helped us make a sashimi rice bowl, selecting from the wide variety of fish and seafood on offer. Delicious! When the vending machine did not have any non-sugar beverages she kindly went to a nearby store to get us Coke Zero. We ended our day with another view of the wetlands and the river. Reiko was delightful to be with, conversation flowed easily.. And she surprised us with a gift of beautiful origami cranes and stunning earrings of cranes that she had crafted herself. They will be a treasured memory of Kushiro and Reiko.

“Fantastic tour”

We had a wonderful time on our tour. We were able to custom make a tour to see the things we wanted and the guide was so lovely and knowledgeable. Definite highlights were seeing the Tancho in 2 places and also the long tailed twits. Highly recommended.

Bridget and her company were all so friendly and nice guests. They are very interested in seeing Tancho cranes and other wildlife to be seen only here and also our culture which made me really happy!
