    • Eastern Hokkaido Wild Bird Experience

      I participated alone. It's in Hokkaido, but it's not a place I can visit often, so I participated this time because I wanted to see wild birds that are unique to this time of year. Infection prevention measures such as masks and alcohol disinfection were firmly in place, so I was able to participate with peace of mind. The weather was perfect, and I was thrilled to be able to see my long-awaited Steller's sea eagles, white-tailed eagles, and Japanese long-tailed tits. I also had my first snorkeling experience, and was able to go to places that I normally can't get to. The guide taught me a lot of things, and it was a fun time and the 3 hours flew by. I was sad to leave. If I go again, I would like to participate. Thank you very much. (This review has been machine translated)
