Kushiro Wetland, Wildlife refuge and Ramsar wetland in Kushiro, Japan.

The wetland spans 28,788 hectares of marshes, raised bogs, and grasslands between Kushiro City, Kushiro Town, Tsurui Village, and Shibecha Town.

The area received protection status in recognition of its ecological importance, leading to its designation as a Ramsar site for international wetland conservation.

The Japanese crane, known as Tancho, holds deep meaning in local traditions and serves as a symbol of the region's natural heritage.
