I went solo to experience canoeing on the Kushiro River in the Kushiro Marshland. From Kushiro, take the JR train to Hosooka Station. Exit the station and walk 1-2 minutes to the left; the boarding area is on the right in an open space. If you arrive early for the JR train, you can wait at the station. Luckily, my canoe guide was a friendly and attentive Taiwanese guy named A-Ce, who provided explanations in Chinese throughout the trip, making communication easy. I initially thought canoeing would be tiring, but it wasn't at all. A-Ce was the main paddler, and I easily helped with paddling, allowing ample time for taking photos. Along the way, we saw water birds resting and flying, and Ezo deer relaxing under the trees. After the one-hour canoeing experience, we were taken to the boarding area near Hosooka Station. This canoeing experience was relaxing, comfortable, and enjoyable—definitely worth coming back!
