Close Observation of the Oriental White Stork, a Special Natural Monument

About this spot

A facility in Toyooka City dedicated to the protection and breeding of the Oriental White Stork, a Special Natural Monument. Once extinct in the wild in Japan, these storks are now carefully raised by human hands in the rich rice paddy environment and released back into the open sky. In the park's cages, you can observe storks up close, and on clear days, you may even spot wild individuals soaring freely over the surrounding paddies. It's a spot where families can learn about and enjoy the city's efforts toward coexistence with nature.
