The cranes gather little by little when the time comes. I don't have a watch. It's strange. It was a beautiful scenery because it was winter and because it was a snowy country.

It seems that there are many people who are fascinated by cranes and move to this Tsurui Village. There is a village in Hokkaido where cranes of human families come to each farmer and dairy farm.

Cranes are said to be natural monuments. In the past, there were only a few dozen cranes due to overfishing by humans, but with the warm support, you can meet so many cranes. It is a wonderful scenery that should be preserved for many years to come.

Beautiful winter scenery. Tokachi has a high rate of sunny weather even in winter, so the blue sky and misty ice are very beautiful.

One of the winter traditions of Lake Abashiri and Lake Memanbetsu is "ice smelt fishing". Drill a hole in the frozen lake surface and hang a fishing line to catch smelt. As long as the timing is right, you can catch it, so you can forget about the cold and enjoy it. There is also a rod rental, so anyone can easily do it, so please feel free to go out. 　 For the seaweed you caught, tempura or fried fish is recommended ♬♬ * There are no rental tents, chairs, or tempura sets, so please bring your own. Period: January 5, Reiwa 6 (Friday) ~ Mid-March of Reiwa 6　 　　　　* The end date will change depending on the ice conditions, so please contact the Tourism Association for details. 　　　　　Please contact us at the inquiry.

【Superb view of Tokachi River Onsen】Unryu It is a river fog that appears in the early morning when the temperature is below -15°C in the severe winter season of January ~ February. It came to be called "Unryu" because it looks as if a dragon is floating and lying along the flow of the Tokachi River. You can see this view at the Tokachigaoka Observatory. It is a spectacular view that can only be seen in winter! This year is the Year of the Dragon, so please come to Tokachi River Onsen to see the cloud dragon!

The cold wave of the year has passed, and the rice fields filled with water, which had been frozen this morning, melted in the midday sun, and the sunset-dyed Mt.
