We will drive to Lake Kussharo and photograph the beautiful Whooper Swans with the foggy mist from the Onsen. We will drive to Rausu to photograph Steller’s Sea Eagles from a boat. In addition to these main subjects we should have opportunities to photograph White- tailed Sea Eagles, Ural Owl, Red Fox.

Not included: international flights to either Hanedo or Narita Tokyo airport. All lunches–most are on the run, all alcoholic beverages, laundry.

About the trip:

This trip is longer than most trips to allow for more flexibility, more time with the cranes, and our other subjects. We will supply lots of pre-trip planning and gear advice, in-the-field instruction and guidance, in addition to short introductory slide programs for each of the amazing locations. We will have the very best Japanese guide and stay at his award winning lodge. His network of local contacts and his knowledge of the weather, the area, and the birds will be invaluable for a trip like this.

The Logistics:

Arrive in Tokyo: Feb 11th, 2020 the latest. Feb 10th is safer and gives you a day to get acclimated to the time change. Your hotel room for the night of the 11th is covered.
