Ainesuto Gyotoku Wild Bird Observatory

Flow of the course

About this spot

A birdwatching facility that stands facing the Gyotoku Bird and Wildlife Sanctuary in Ichikawa City. Large windows and telescopes inside let you observe the waterbirds gathering in the wetland without getting wet, and the cast of species changes with the seasons, which is part of the fun. Ask the staff and they will tell you which birds can be seen that day, so even first-timers know where to look. Learning that so much nature remains on a plot surrounded by apartment buildings changes the way children look at things. Being indoors with air conditioning also helps you spend the bright morning hours in comfort.

Tips

There are closing days, so check the official information for opening days before you go. Binoculars make it more enjoyable, but the telescopes inside are more than enough for observing. It is a place to keep quiet, so telling small children about voice levels beforehand keeps things smooth. You can look around with a stroller.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 15 minutes. The morning, when the birds are most active, is recommended
