Bird watching on a remote island

Oniwaki Menushoro Swamp

It is located on the route from Oshidomari Port, where the ferry from Wakkanai arrives, to Kutsugata via Oniwaki and Senboshi.

Menushoro Swamp is located in Minamihama Marsh, a designated natural monument in Rishiri-Fuji Town.

A small 6-hectare marsh.

Wooden boards have been laid out around the marsh, so you can stroll around it.

On this day, we were led around by an intermediate egret.

This marsh is commonly called Menushoro, but in Ainu language it is called Menuushoro.

It means spring marsh, having, inside the bay, or bad, inside the bay.

Nearby is an area called Numaura, which has many marshes, including Mikazuki Marsh and Otatomari Marsh.
Otatomari Marsh is a famous tourist spot where tourist buses always stop.
There is a souvenir exhibition, so there are many tourists, but there are not many people here.

Because there are no people, you can see wild birds resting their wings, playing, and eating.
Recommended for those who want to take quiet, leisurely photos and observe migratory and wild birds!
