Wild Hokkaido! - Season 2 Episode 8 Harsh Winter on the Tokachi River

Our stage today is the Tokachi River, located in the eastern part of Hokkaido. We will fully enjoy the nature of this 156-kilometer-long river that fertilizes the vast Tokachi Plain. Our program host, Charlotte Kate Fox, will attempt to go down this river in a rubber boat with a guide during the coldest period. We will encounter the enormous Steller's Sea Eagle, with a wingspan of over 2 meters as well as the Red-crowned Crane, a special natural monument of Japan. We will also see many spectacles of the Tokachi River in winter, such as the frozen rivers created by the harsh cold and the Spotted Seal biding its time on ice.
