If you are a birder, this place is a must see. And even if you aren't a birder it is a great place to spend some time. You can comfortably watch birds with the telescopes indoors AND Mt Daisen is in the background! The guides are extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. They gave me a checklist to mark the birds I saw. There were interesting displays and even bird costumes for kids and grownups too. I arrived too late to see it all, but I will certainly go again. Next time I will give myself plenty of time to really enjoy the experience. A truly pleasant experience.

One of the best deals in Japan. Go to the visitor centre where they have quite a few binoculars set up and helpful staff point out where to look. I would have missed the Siberian swans otherwise.

Good amount of water fowl, definitely lives up to its name. Costs to enter the building itself 310 yen for adults, but they have big viewing binoculars, places to sit, etc. I didn't go in as I was in the mood for wandering around, but I think it'll be worth it to go in if you want to get a better view of spoonbills, Kingfishers, a variety of ducks and the odd bird of prey.

From Yonago water birds park, I can see water birds in Nakaumi lake. I can observe them by using binocular. Various species of water birds were found here. In this place, I also can practice stencil art design of wild water birds. Many choices of acrylic paint color are available to color your painting. It was very fun. Kids must be very happy with this activity. Please don’t miss this place when you visit Sanin area.

Many telescopes are set up overlooking the waterbird reserve, with information cards attached so that you can learn the names of the birds you find. Lots of other information inside; a microscope to look at insects, etc, artworks from local children, bird costumes, etc .
