Hyoko Suikin Park

Hello there! This time I visited Hyoko Suikin Park situated in Suibara, Agano city, Niigata prefecture! It was on November 3rd, 2024. Cloudy, windy and a bit chilly. Hyoko is famous as a stopover for swans and one of the Ramsar Sites. I arrived there at around 9 am and the swans had already left for the rice fields around this lake, looking for something to eat. Without further ado, I am going to share the pictures of waterfowls swimming in this lake first.
