Kushiro trip planner

Kushiro first developed as an industrial hub thanks to its relatively ice-free harbor, and has since also become known as a transport hub for journeys to the east of the island. Onward connections on JR trains lead visitors to the volcanic, mountainous, and lake-filled national parks of the region, with tourist visits to Kushiro usually lasting little longer than it takes to arrange such a journey at one of the stations. A little closer to the main urban area lies the largest marshland in the country, an important habitat for the endangered Japanese crane.
