Kushiro, a coastal city in eastern Hokkaido, is unmissable for its unique blend of urban and natural charm. The city's main attraction is the Kushiro Marshland National Park, a vast wetland teeming with wildlife, including brown bears and birds. Travellers love the city's Akan Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Hokkaido, where they can enjoy stunning scenery and take a scenic cruise.
