Honshu's only wintering ground for Hooded crane

Yashiro district of Shunan City is the "birthplace of modern Japan's nature conservation system," where crane protection began in 1898, the first area in the country to do so.
It is the only migration site for cranes in Honshu, where mainly Hooded cranes migrate to spend the winter.

Hooded cranes arrive in late October every year and hibernate here in Yashiro before moving to their hometown of Siberia in early March of the following year.

 

Precautions when visiting nervous cranes

Hooded cranes are a very sensitive bird. Please follow the rules and visit.

  • Observe and photograph cranes from the crane observation post.
  • Don't enter restricted areas.
  • To protect the cranes, please refrain from parking in and around the crane observation post.
  • If you are coming by car, please use the Tsuru ikoinosato parking lot or the parking lot behind Yashiro Post Office.
