In the midst of the snow falling and stopping, we searched for eagles while driving. Once we found one, we got out of the car and observed it for about 10 to 15 minutes with binoculars. I was a bit anxious about whether we would be able to see them, but shortly after we set off, our guide spotted a white-tailed eagle, and we were able to observe it.

解説も分かりやすく、オジロワシ・オオワシの両方を見ることが出来たので満足です。写真もバッチリ撮れました

I participated alone! It turned out to be a one-on-one experience since others canceled, haha. I was of course satisfied to see the eider ducks, but I also really enjoyed the time spent chatting with the guide! I was happy to see the drift ice as well ☺️ On the way back, I was given a ride to my next destination. I think even those who aren't knowledgeable about wildlife can enjoy this experience! I highly recommend it!ひとりで参加しました!他の方がキャンセルされたそうでマンツーマンでした笑
ワシなどを見ることができ満足したのはもちろんですが、ガイドさんとお話しする時間もとても楽しかったです!流氷も見れて満足です☺️帰りは次の目的地まで送迎していただきました♪野生動物に詳しくない方でも楽しく参加できると思います!おすすめです!

I participated alone, but the guide and the other guests had a great time chatting and enjoying the experience together. Thank you!

I was worried that I might not see anything on the day of the tour since it suddenly got warm, but while traveling by car, I searched for the eagles and was able to see both the Steller's sea eagle and the white-tailed eagle at Lake Tōfutsu.

On two occasions, I was close enough to see their yellow beaks and legs with the naked eye, and I was able to quietly observe t…

On two occasions, I was close enough to see their yellow beaks and legs with the naked eye, and I was able to quietly observe them while feeling excited, which was a lot of fun. On the way back, I was very lucky to see a Steller's sea eagle flying alongside the car as if it were racing with us.
1人での参加でしたが、ガイドさんももう1組のゲストともワイワイお話ししながら楽しみました。ありがとうございます!

急に暖かくなったのでツアー当日は見られないかも、と心配しながら参加しましたが、車で移動しながらワシの姿を探し、濤沸湖でオオワシ、オジロワシともに見ることができました。
その内、2回は肉眼で黄色い嘴や脚がわかるほどに近く、興奮しながらも静かに観察できて、とても楽しかったです。
帰りの移動の際も、まるで車に並走するかのようにオオワシが飛んでいる姿を見ることができて、とてもラッキーでした。
