Board your motorcoach and drive to Kushiro Crane Reserve. Established in 1958, the reserve preserves endangered redheaded cranes, which were on the verge of extinction in the 1950s. The cranes sport red crests, black necks, white bodies and white wings tipped with black. Cranes can be viewed year-round at the reserve; hatching takes place from May through June. Continue to Kushiro Shitsugen National Park. Japan's newest national park was also the first Ramsar site designated in Japan. Ramsar sites are wetlands identified as being of international significance. Your scenic drive visits an observatory, which offers views of the marshes and Mount Oaken and Meakan in the distance. Board your coach for the return trip to your Princess ship.
