The 10 Best National Parks in the World

"If winter is your game and you're looking for memorable experiences on their own or to add to a ski trip, you need to see the intricate dances of the red-crowned cranes in [this park] in eastern Hokkaido. In the winter, their marsh habitats are covered in snow, and it's a magical experience to see them at sunrise as the steam drifts up from the river." — Amy Tadehara, InsideJapan. The emphasis is on winter viewing of red-crowned cranes in snowy marshes at sunrise, a striking and atmospheric wildlife spectacle." - Elizabeth Cantrell Elizabeth Cantrell Elizabeth Cantrell is a senior editor at Travel + Leisure.
