About this excursion

Begin your private shore excursion with pickup directly from Kushiro Port. Travel comfortably in your own private vehicle. Unlike a large group tour, there is no need to keep pace with others, allowing you to enjoy each destination at your own pace.

Visit Kushiro City Red-Crowned Crane Natural Park to see Japan's iconic red-crowned cranes and learn about their conservation.

Continue to Lake Akan Ainu Kotan, a traditional Ainu cultural village where you can discover the heritage, crafts, and traditions of Hokkaido's Indigenous Ainu people.

Then visit the scenic shores of Lake Akan, surrounded by forests and mountains. Enjoy the peaceful lakeside atmosphere before returning to Kushiro Port.

The driver speaks Japanese, with communication assisted by a translation app. Before the tour, you will receive an English digital guidebook and audio guide. Pre-tour customer support is available in English.
