Japan 15Jan08

From Yamane

The day before yesterday, I went to Kyushu-island in Japan on business trip. After the meeting with my customer yesterday, I had time for watching cranes. Fortunately, I could visit the famous sanctuary for cranes in Japan. The place is IZUMI City.

We can see mainly 2 kind of cranes, White-naped Crane, it's named Mana-Zuru. It's big one. Hooded Crane, it's named Nabe-zuru.
