Blakiston's fish owl
Meet Blakiston's fish owl, the largest owl in the world, which feed on river fish around the Shiretoko Peninsula.
Rausu on the Shiretoko Peninsula is a great place to spot the rare Blakiston's fish owls. InsideJapan can arrange a stay at a minshuku which has its own bird watching hide right by a stream where a pair of Blakiston's fish owls feed almost nightly. The owls are also accustomed to flash, which makes this an ideal place for anyone interested in photographing this impressive owl.
