Taking the ropeway up and down was definitely the highlight for me, especially the single-seat lift. Looking down and seeing your feet dangling in the air feels like walking on clouds—it's pretty thrilling and exciting!

Tsuru-Ito Red-crowned Crane Sanctuary
A facility dedicated to the protection and observation of the endangered red-crowned crane. Operated by the Wild Bird Society of Japan, it was established in 1987. In winter, wild red-crowned cranes fly in to forage across the vast 10-hectare grassland, making this a rare spot where visitors can observe their graceful姿 up close.
Absolutely gorgeous, with that classic Hokkaido natural vibe! 🕊️ This is a popular spot for seeing red-crowned cranes, and it’s especially spectacular in winter. Watching them walk across the snow or spread their wings and fly is so impressive, and it makes for amazing photos. 📸
The sanctuary is well laid out, with an observation deck where you can see the cranes up close. There’s also a small museum with exhibits about the cranes’ ecology. The whole place is quiet and clean, and the atmosphere feels really soothing.
That said, it’s a bit remote, so I’d recommend driving yourself or joining a tour. It gets really cold, so dress super warmly! Overall, if you’re visiting eastern Hokkaido in winter, this is definitely a stop worth adding. You really get to feel the elegance of the cranes and the peacefulness of Hokkaido. ❄️ -
Fuji TV Headquarters Building
With the futuristic impression of its silver sphere, the Fuji Television Headquarters, designed by architect Kenzo Tange, is a landmark of Odaiba. There is also a floor offering tours of the TV station.
Every time I pass by Odaiba, I see this super iconic and well-designed building. It's basically become a symbol of Odaiba.
