The wetlands of Lake Akkeshi and Bekanbeushi Marsh (別寒辺牛湿原) have been designated a Ramsar site.
Lake Akkeshi, 11 metres (36 ft) deep at its deepest point, is fed by the Bekanbeushi River (別寒辺牛川) and adjoins Akkeshi Bay.
[2][3] Since a part of this lake does not freeze, whooper swans and ducks winter there.
