Otowa Bridge: Japanese cranes viewing spot
Otowa Bridge的点评
点评：Close to the Tsurui-Ito Preserve flows the Setsuri River, a remarkable natural feature that does not freeze during winter. This unique characteristic has been embraced by the cranes, which not only use the river as a nighttime resting spot but also build their nests there in spring. The flock consists of around 200 birds, and the best place to observe them is from the Otowa Bridge, just an 8-minute drive from the Tsurui-Ito Preserve. Nearby, you'll find a spacious parking area and several eco-friendly toilets.
The Otowa Bridge is a haven for photographers—serious ones, at that. Lenses under 200mm are a rare sight; most are 600mm or 800mm, often paired with teleconverters. The crane flock nests about 200 meters upstream from the bridge. What makes this location truly special are the stunning natural surroundings. In freezing temperatures, every branch and twig is adorned with sparkling frost, while mist rises above the river, adding an air of mystery. Through the haze, the silhouettes of cranes emerge, creating a scene reminiscent of traditional Japanese woodblock prints. It’s a true winter wonderland.
This shooting spot isn’t about technical perfection, where every feather or claw of the crane is meticulously detailed—although skill is certainly required, as the shooting conditions are tough. Instead, it’s about photo artistry, capturing mood and emotion through the lens. Here, nature plays the starring role, with the cranes seamlessly blending into the landscape.
In the parking lot, we met a photographer preparing to spend the night in a sleeping bag laid out in his car. The best shots from the Otowa Bridge are captured at dawn (around 7 AM in December), and only the most resilient and determined photographers stay overnight to secure the prime shooting spots in the morning. Temperatures at night can drop to a chilling -30°C, no less!
For us, the evening shots were more than enough. The place is simply breathtaking, unlike anything we had seen before. Be sure to include it in your itinerary!

翻译：鹤居伊东保护区附近流淌着濑户川，这是一道冬季不结冰的自然景观。鹤居伊东保护区的这一独特景观深受鹤居伊东川的喜爱，它们不仅将这条河作为夜间休息地，而且在春天也在这里筑巢。鹤居伊东保护区附近有约 200 只鹤居伊东，最佳观察地点是音羽桥，距离鹤居伊东保护区仅 8 分钟车程。附近有一个宽敞的停车场和几个环保厕所。
音羽桥是摄影师的天堂，尤其是严肃摄影师。200 毫米以下的镜头很少见；大多数镜头是 600 毫米或 800 毫米，通常与增距镜搭配使用。鹤居伊东川的巢穴位于桥上游约 200 米处。这里真正特别之处在于令人惊叹的自然环境。在冰冷的气温下，每一根树枝都挂着闪闪发光的霜冻，而雾气在河面上升起，增添了一丝神秘的气息。透过薄雾，鹤的轮廓浮现出来，营造出一幅让人联想到日本传统木版画的场景。这是一个真正的冬季仙境。
这个拍摄点并不追求技术上的完美，鹤的每一根羽毛或爪子都经过精心设计——尽管由于拍摄条件艰苦，技巧是必不可少的。相反，它关乎摄影艺术，通过镜头捕捉情绪和情感。在这里，大自然扮演着主角，鹤与风景融为一体。
在停车场，我们遇到了一位摄影师，他正准备在车里的睡袋里过夜。音羽桥的最佳照片是在黎明时分拍摄的（12 月大约早上 7 点），只有最坚韧和最坚定的摄影师才会在这里过夜，以确保第二天早上的最佳拍摄点。夜间温度可能会降至零下 30°C 的寒冷程度！
对我们来说，晚上的拍摄已经足够了。这个地方简直美得令人窒息，与我们之前见过的任何地方都不一样。一定要把它列入你的行程中！
