Furano, Torinuma Spring

In this episode, we are visiting Furano in central Hokkaido. The cultivated flat lands have been used to create lavish lavender fields, a popular attraction among foreign tourists. Torinuma is one of the few remaining areas in Furano where the original landscape remains intact. Many wild birds gather at the lake because of the abundance of fresh spring water. Charlotte Kate Fox has begun bird watching! She has spotted a duck floating upside down reaching for algae as well as a woodpecker searching for insects in trees.
