From Kushiro, Happy New Year again for 2026!
The long New Year holidays have ended.
How has everyone been?
In Kushiro City the red-crowned cranes have arrived for the season, and 100 to 200 birds are currently being observed at the feeding station 😊
Also, from Saturday, January 17, the SL Winter Marsh Train began operating, ushering in the best time to enjoy winter sightseeing!
On cold mornings you might see lotus-leaf ice or ke-arashi (steam fog) over the Kushiro River⁈
Viewed from around Nusamai Bridge, the scene becomes even more magical.
You can also enjoy winter canoeing on the Kushiro River as it flows through Kushiro Shitsugen!
Thanks to the clear winter air, the sunset in Kushiro—hailed as one of the world’s three great sunsets—shines with even more vivid colors,
and Kushiro offers many sights and experiences you can only encounter at this time of year.
Please come visit us✨

Wishing everyone a great year again this year (^^)

Even after Lake Akanko begins to freeze, the ice remains very thin!
It can be hard to see, but hot springs bubble up from the lakebed in places, making the ice dangerously thin.
When people work on the ice, they do so only after taking safety precautions.
Even with warning signs and ropes to keep people out, local residents sometimes report those who try to venture onto the ice.
Going onto the ice at this time of year is a life-threatening risk.
Do not go onto the ice under any circumstances.

New Year Greetings and Information on the Operating Status of Tourist and Bathing Facilities
Happy New Year. I pray that 2026 will be a wonderful year for everyone.
We will continue working to ensure that everyone spending time in Teshikaga this year can enjoy memorable moments, and we appreciate your continued support. (New Year’s Day, 2026)

Information about the operating status of tourist attractions and bathing facilities during the New Year period is available on Teshikaga Navi. Please note that hours and opening days may differ from the usual schedule. Also, some bathing facilities may be closed temporarily, so we recommend contacting each facility before you go.

☆Notice of Closure☆
⁡
We will be closed from December 31st to January 1st.
We will resume normal business hours from January 2nd for the New Year period!

Kushiro, famed as one of the world’s top three sunset cities, actually offers unmissable sunrises as well.
