Lake Furen & Onneto Cruise K Lake Furen & Onneto Cruise K Visit the Otowa Bridge in Tsurui Village very early on winter mornings to see the cranes leaving their overnight roost-it’s a spectacular experience. You can watch the cranes resting or dancing in the mist rising from the river. The best seasons for bird-watching in this region are the periods between late January and early March for winter birds and between mid-June and early August for summer birds. You need at least 4-5 days for watching or photo- graphing, but if you really want to enjoy the region’s birds, staying for one week is recommendable. There is a great range of accommodations in the area, which includes reasonable Japanese-style inns, B&B, and western style hotels. You can enjoy Japanese style meals throughout the region, but for those who do not enjoy Japanese cuisine, western-style meals are available in most of the towns. In most of the inns and hotels, you can enjoy Japanese-style public hot-spring baths, which are wonderfully relaxing after a long day out in the field birdwatching. For those not interested in experiencing this traditional Japanese culture, western-style baths may also be available; it is best to make your intentions clear when you choose your accommodations. Western-style rent-a-car service is available at each airport, and is quite reasonably priced. Driving around this area in summer is very pleasant, but driving on frozen winter roads is challenging and may be dangerous for beginners. Hiring an English-speaking bird-watching guide is recommended, and we have several that we can introduce you to. They can provide you not only with bird-watching guiding service, but will also drive for you and will be there to interpret the language and culture you experience during your stay.
