Lake Akan is located in Kushiro City, Hokkaido, within the Akan-Mashu National Park and is registered under the Ramsar Convention.
The Ainu Kotan on the shores of Lake Akan is where the Ainu, the indigenous people of Hokkaido, actually live and welcome visitors with their own stores.
The Ainu have developed a unique culture that includes the Ainu language, which is different from Japanese, a spiritual culture in which it is believed that everything in nature has a soul, ancient dances performed at festivals and family events, embroidery with unique patterns, wood carvings, and other crafts, as well as a modern way of looking at things and incorporating modern technology.
The Ainu Kotan embodies "tradition and innovation," and is committed to the creation of new Ainu culture and the creation of a stage for it.
You will enjoy a traditional Ainu dance performance at the Ainu Kotan and stay overnight at Lake Akan Onsen Hot Springs.
The next day, you will be able to see wild red-crowned cranes as they gather around the national park during the winter, a special natural treasure of Japan.

The famed Tsukiji Market moved in October 2018 to Toyosu, reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay. The new Toyosu Market is almost twice the size of Tsukiji, making it the biggest fish market in the world. Entry is free, and visitors can still see the famous tuna auctions, buy fresh fruits and vegetables at the adjoining produce market and enjoy a breakfast of super fresh sushi at one of the complex restaurants, which moved over from Tsukiji.
With its vast garden and the Nijubashi Bridge, the face of the Imperial Palace, the Outer Gardens area of the Imperial Palace attracts many tourists.
The Lunch Cruise departs from Hinode Pier, passes under Rainbow Bridge, and goes to Odaiba and Oi Futo. After passing through Shinagawa Futo, the route turns left, and goes under Tokyo Gate Bridge. Next, view Tokyo Disneyland, Tokyo DisneySea, the Tokyo Metropolis from the other side of the Central Breakwater, and Haneda Airport. After passing Haneda Airport, don't miss seeing Tokyo Skytree and Tokyo Tower from the other side of Rainbow Bridge.
