#Sendai miyagi japan portable#
There are toilets at the sanctuary centre, and portable toilets also at both the north and south ends of Kabukurinuma. The small pond beside the car park is a favourite haunt of Whooper Swan and Northern Pintail which congregate to be fed by visitors - offered for sale by a local entrepreneur at the hut for ¥100 a bag!
With so many birds in the area, staying nearby for a night or even two is strongly recommended, as there is a lot to see.īeginning near Nitta, near the east end of Izunuma, you can make a loop around Izunuma and take in Uchinuma all in a day's birding. The lake is about a 15-minute walk from Nitta making it a good starting point. Cross over the railway tracks and on the right side is a parking area and the old viewing centre, here you can go up onto the roof and look across the lake. "Numa" by the way means pond or lagoon, so in English these are Izu and Uchi lagoons, or Izunuma or Uchinuma. The setting and the whole experience is comparable with witnessing the massed flights of Hooded Crane and White-naped Crane in Kyushu, the dancing flocks of Red-crowned Crane in east Hokkaido, or the Steller's Eagle and White-tailed Eagle around the sea-ice of the Nemuro Channel.įor anyone who likes geese, swans or ducks, Izunuma and the surrounding lakes, northwest of Sendai, in Miyagi Prefecture, is one of the best possible places in Japan to visit during the winter months. Izunuma and Uchinuma offer one of the great wildlife spectacles of Japan - the dawn and dusk flights of tens of thousands of Greater White-fronted Goose.
