Hokkaido Map & Akan Bus #30

I found a map of Hokkaido with a list of road stations. Here is the link:

Map of Hokkaido

To see the Tancho cranes, you want to go to the powder blue area, which is the Kushiro-Nemuro area in the east. The bus to take is Akan Line #30.

Here is the bus route with its six major stations:

Kushiro Eki (Kushiro Railroad Station) --> Kushiro Kuuko (Kushiro Airport) --> Tsuru Koen (Crane Park) --> Akan-cho (Akan Town) --> Tancho no Sato (Home of Tancho Cranes)--> Akan Kohan (Akan Lakeside)

I took this bus from "Kushiro Eki" because it was right in front of Kushiro Tokyu (not Tokyo) Inn, where I stayed.
