Onnenai Visitor Center
Walk Along a 3.1-km Boardwalk Through Kushiro Marsh
Discover the beauty of Kushiro Marsh at this visitor center, a gateway to Japan’s largest wetland and its rich wildlife.
Located where forest meets marsh, the center introduces the region’s ecosystems and seasonal highlights through easy-to-understand exhibits. Before your walk, check the Nature Updates Board for the latest information on blooming wetland plants and wildlife sightings.
Step outside to a well-maintained, accessible boardwalk stretching about 3.1 km, allowing for a pleasant 90-minute loop. As you walk, you’ll be surrounded by open skies, fresh breezes, and the sounds of wildlife, from rustling reeds to the calls of red-crowned cranes and meadow birds. The trail offers close-up views of sphagnum moss bogs, reed and sedge marshes, and quiet alder forests. QR codes along the path connect you to a digital field guide, helping you identify plants and species as you explore.
Each season brings new beauty—lush greenery and fireflies in summer, golden wetlands in autumn, and serene snow-covered landscapes in winter. During colder months, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing offers a chance to spot Yezo sika deer in the wild. No matter when you visit, the marsh leaves a lasting impression.
