Setsuri River

The Setsuri River, which flows from Tsurui Village to Kushiro Marsh, is known as a roosting place for red-crowned cranes during the winter. The river has become a popular photo spot for photographers from all over the world, who can see the fantastic sight of cranes standing in the morning mist and the graceful flocks flying in the evening darkness.
