Watching Wildlife activities in Asia

1. Harp Seals

   • Wakkanai, Japan
   • Activities › Watching wildlife

   There is some wonderful wildlife-watching in Bakkai, where a few hundred harp seals arrive each year and stay from November to the end of March. A basic viewing hut provides shelter, a toilet and some information about the seals. Frequent futsū run on the JR Sōya line between Wakkanai and Bakkai (¥260, 15 minutes). Dress warmly as the hut is a 30-minute walk from JR Bakkai Station, and temperatures can be well below freezing.
