Tsurui-Ito Red-Crowned Crane Sanctuary
The Wild Bird Society of Japan established this facility to protect the Japanese cranes and their habitat. It houses a nature center that provides feeding services in the winter when food is scarce, and also conducts conservation activities for the cranes. You can observe the cranes, which show off a variety of different behaviors, from fighting over territory in October to singing in November, both outdoors and indoors. The facility is open from October to March.
