Wild Hokkaido!

Season 1 Episode 2: Kushiro: Dancing with Nature

Our new program "Wild Hokkaido!" offers tourist information highlighting the wonderful nature of Hokkaido. In this episode, actress Charlotte Kate Fox visits the Kushiro area of eastern Hokkaido. After taking in the magnificent landscape of Kushiro Marsh, which is Japan's largest wetland, Fox encounters the Red-crowned crane, a bird that is symbolic of the area. These cranes stay with their partner for the entirety of their lives. Fox was moved by how the cranes synchronize their cries and take off together. She even had the opportunity to witness their mating ritual. The program also includes rare footage of the Red-crowned cranes, documenting their ecology in detail.
