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 enjoys many clear winter days, so the blue skies and rime ice look stunning.

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.

Spectacular View at Tokachigawa Onsen: Unryu Unryu is a river mist that appears on frigid mornings in January and February when temperatures drop below −15°C. It came to be called “Unryu” because the fog rising along the flow of the Tokachi River looks like a dragon stretching and resting. You can view this scene from the Tokachigaoka Observatory. This breathtaking sight is visible only in winter! This year is the Year of the Dragon—come to Tokachigawa Onsen to see Unryu!

I’m Aoki from the Teshikagacho Regional Revitalization Team!! At the Mashu–Shibecha–Tsurui Promotion Board, we ran a 3-day, 2-night monitoring tour for international students from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China attending Japanese language schools, showcasing the winter natural beauty and gastronomy of Eastern Hokkaido. I accompanied the group in Teshikaga from the afternoon of the second day through the final day 😊 For lunch we went to Marukibune, where you can enjoy Ainu cuisine, and had a venison rice bowl called “Yasei-don.” We then visited Retara Chip on the shore of Lake Kussharo for souvenirs and swan spotting, followed by popular spots including Lake Mashu Kamuy Terrace and Mount Io MOKMOK Base ✌️ That night we stayed at Oyado Kinkiyu, with the buffet served in a separate building, Honeysuckle♪ Guests enjoyed dishes made with local ingredients and an all-you-can-eat feast of large crab—did they enjoy the crab? 🦀 Afterward we joined a nighttime tour of the hot spring river and learned about Kawayu Onsen♨️ How was the onsen at the ryokan afterward?? 😊 On the final day, after breakfast, we tried a headwater canoe experience guided by Matatabi, the canoe operator🛶 Wearing dry suits, we played by the riverbanks and in the snow, and everyone’s smiles and energy lifted our spirits 😆 Later we took the train from mashu station, ate boxed lunches from the local-ingredient-focused diner and coffee shop Poppotei, and headed to Kushiro Station 🚃𓈒𓂂𓏸 I hope this trip became an unforgettable experience for everyone 🙏 I, Aoki, also learned a great deal ✨ Thank you very much.

The Tadami Line connects Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture and Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima Prefecture. This photo was taken on December 26, 2023 in Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture. 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. Gongendo and the Kiha E120 single train to Aizu were beautifully reflected!
