We set off early next morning to see the zoo in Asahikawa

Tancho Cranes

Tokachikawa Bridge


Woke up early next morning so that I could take a walk around the hotel grounds to check out the local scenery.It seems that the resort is located next to a river. Unable to stand the cold I went back in and proceeded to the breakfast hall. After hauling our baggage into the tour bus we walked over to the edge of the river to feed the ducks and swans that had gathered there.

When it was time to head further east to Kushiro the hotel staff came out and waved us off. kushiro is a port town and we went to the local fish market to check it out.
After that it ews off to the marshland to see the Tancho cranes.
