[Tweeters] Japan trip planning

[B B via Tweeters]

 Cindy and I are scheduled to visit Japan this winter (February) with a mix of birding and cultural activities.  My main goal is to see a male Smew - my top of the list bucket list bird but we will also be going for cranes, Steller's Sea eagles, Blakiston's Fish Owl and others with some birding on Honshu, Hokkaido and Kyushu.  We are fortunate to have Koji Tagi as a guide.  Working with us, he has made a full itinerary and arranged most accommodations and travel.  We are happy to share details and the experience when we return.

At last I am ready to take the trip plunge and visit the north end of Japan (basically Sapporo area north for the birds and stay with a friend there. Has anyone had experience in this area in the April-very early May period?  Any books I should consider.  And, yes, I want to time it for the Tundra Swan migration that comes through the north area in April-May. I already noted the Lake Utonai area and Kutcharo-Ko Observatory (They both sound really interesting).     Also, any suggestions for airlines and flights to consider. I started looking at this and found it had lots of options, airlines and itinerary.....confusing to a novice.    Thanks for any assistance those who have been there and done that can offer.
