I'm going with my family to a 3 weeks trip to japan from june 21t' to july 12th'. It's not a nature trip but I want to use the early morning time for birding. We will visit Kyoto,Tokyo, Nara, Hiroshima, Niihama and Harue.
If someone who knows Japan can give me some birding tips for those places I'll be grateful.
I also need an advice on guidebook to Japan's birds in english.
Thanks'.

Can't help a lot but hopefully.

There are 3 members of BF that come to mind from Japan they are stoop,petitebouquet and lostinjapan. You could try a PM to either of them they may be able to help.

I don't know too much about the places you're visting (I hardly ever leave my corner of Hokkaido) although Tokyo and the area around Tokyo has several well-known birding spots.

I suggest you check out this link for expat birders in Japan:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kantori

You'll have to join but then you can get plenty of info about the places you want to visit.

If you go to my blog below there are more links to birding websites about Japan.

Hi folks o
I have the chance to visit Japan sometime next month (August), and I'll have one to two weeks to spend there, so just wondering if anyone can recommend an itinerary to see some good birds there (not seabirds though !) ..
Any infor would be greatly appreciated
