Current itineraries using Lake Kussharo include Amazing Japanese Wildlife in Winter, with photography shaped around hide, boat-based, flight, night or low-light and landscape and behaviour photography sessions. A large caldera lake in eastern Hokkaido, Japan, known in winter for its resident Whooper Swans on the ice-free hot-spring waters.
