Kushiro at a Glance
About Kushiro
Kushiro, a coastal city in eastern Hokkaido, is unmissable for its unique blend of urban and natural charm. The city's main attraction is the Kushiro Marshland National Park, a vast wetland teeming with wildlife, including brown bears and birds. Travellers love the city's Akan Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Hokkaido, where they can enjoy stunning scenery and take a scenic cruise.
The best time to visit Kushiro is during autumn, from September to November, when the leaves change colours and the city hosts the Kushiro Autumn Festival. For first-timers, a practical tip is to try the local specialty, crab dishes, which are incredibly fresh and delicious, and can be sampled at many restaurants in the city's downtown area.
