Little-Known Good Spot! Origin Natture Can Be Seen -Kottaro Marsh in Shibecha-
April 8th, 2016
Kottaro Marsh
Kottaro Marsh (コッタロ湿原) is a different wetland from Kushiro-shitsugen Wetland on the north side of the Kushiro-Shitsugen Wetland National Park and is next to the Kushiro-shitsugen Wetland. Kottaro means "There Is Place That Water Gushing Out from Underground" in Ainu language, and is fitting name. Because it is not the Kushiro-shitsugen Wetland, few tourists come, but it is a little-known spot that the tourists can enjoy nature. A scenery looks like original nature, and it has been designated as the special protection district of the Kushiro-Shitsugen Wetland National Park. The Kottaro Marsh is a nesting place for Japanese cranes. Visitors may have a chance to watch the Japanese cranes from a spring to a summer. A half gravel road called the Hokkaido Road Route 1060 "Kucchoro-genya Toro Line (クチョロ原野塘路線)" stretches on the marsh, and there are First Kottaro Viewpoint (第一展望台), Second Kottaro Viewpoint (第二展望地) and Third Kottaro Viewpoint (第三展望地) along the road. The Third Kottaro Viewpoint seems to be on a hill, but I have never found it.
Kushiro-Shitsugen Wetland National Park (釧路湿原国立公園) that 500,000 people visit every year is a famous sightseeing spot in the Eastern Hokkaido and is the largest wetland with 18,290 ha in Japan. It was designed as a wetland under Ramsar Convention in 1980, and developments had been limited strictly. There are many rare animals inhabit and plants including Japanese cranes, Blakiston's fish-owls that are only 100 in Hokkaido, Iijima Ruriboshiyanma (イイジマルリボシヤンマ) that is the remaining specy in the glacial epoch, Itou fish (イトウ) that is said to be a very rare fish, Kushiro jacob's ladder (クシロハナシノブ) that is the remaining specy in the glacial epoch, Bogberry and Yachibouzu.
First Kottaro Viewpoint
First Kottaro Viewpoint is built halfway up a hill and a wooden observatory deck is provided. It takes approximately 20 minutes on foot from a parking lot. I often felt out of breath when I went up along stairs. But a scenery was splendid!, and it is popular with tourist experts. I had not suffered in vain. There is a restroom near the parking lot. By the way, please be careful for theft from your vehicle on the parkin lot. Admission free. A parking lot is free of charge.

Second Kottaro Viewpoint
Second Kottaro Viewpoint is along the Hokkaido Road Route 1060 "Kucchoro-genya Toro Line". But a view is not good for trees disturbing the view, so tourists may not enjoy it. The tourists can park their cars on the shoulder to see the Kottaro Marsh. Admission free.
