Kushiro

Kushiro

Kushiro is a port city located in eastern Hokkaido facing the Pacific Ocean and enjoying the blessing of the sea, mountains and rich nature. The city has two national parks: Kushiro shitsugen (Marshland) National Park, which is home to tancho red-crowned cranes, a protected species in Japan, and boasts the country’s largest marshland; and Akan Mashu National Park encompassing Lake Akan, a habitat for round marimo moss balls. With a daily mean temperature of 22.9°C in August, the city is known as the coolest place in Japan to escape the summer heat, and the number of sports camps and long-term visitors has been increasing in recent years. Kushiro is a great place to hold a compact MICE in its downtown area, which has a cluster of MICE facilities, hotels and restaurants, or a MICE at a hot spring resort in the Lake Akan area surrounded by woods, which features a distinctive feel of Ainu culture.
