Kushiro, Japan

Home to Japan’s largest marshland, a paradise within itself, Kushiro is the place to stop for a unique Japanese experience. Located in Hokkaido, a popular destination for skiing and snowboarding in winter, this vast and secluded corner of Japan is well worth the trip any time of year. Enjoy the air at this coastal city and try the flavors of the local cuisine, mostly fished in the area. Make your own Katte-don fishbowl, or head East to Akkeshi, the only oyster producing area in Japan that trades throughout the year. Try not to miss Sapporo, Hokkaido's main city, famous for Sapporo beer, Sapporo ramen and the annual Sapporo Snow Festival.
