Sarobetsu Wetland and Sarobetsu Wetland Center

At the center of the 20,000-hectare Sarobetsu Plain is the Sarobetsu Wetland, one of the three largest marshlands in Japan. You can enjoy the magnificent scenery from the window of a car on Route 40, but visiting the Sarobetsu Wetland Center, built at the entrance to the marshland, is also recommended. There is a 1km long wooden pathway around the site, and, from spring to autumn, you can enjoy more than 100 kinds of flowers and wild birds up close.
