Higashiyoka-higata, Ramsar wildlife refuge and mudflat in Saga, Japan.
The Higashiyoka-higata mudflat extends across 218 hectares at the mouths of the Honshoe River and Hattae River on Ariake Bay's north shore.
The site gained official recognition as a Ramsar wetland in May 2015, marking its international status for waterbird conservation and environmental protection.
This natural space functions as an observation point where local residents and researchers study migratory patterns of numerous waterbird species throughout the year.
Visitors can access designated viewing areas to observe over 7,000 migratory shorebirds that frequent the mudflats between autumn and spring seasons.
The mudflat supports endangered species including the spoon-billed sandpiper, black-faced spoonbill, far eastern curlew, and Saunders's gull in their natural habitat.
