JAL (Japan Air Lines) included a tour to feeding site of endangered Blakiston’s fish owl close to Shiretoko World Heritage site in a package tour "JAL Pack" (http://www.jal.co.jp/domtour/hok/shiretokorausu/). (see my facebook)
On March 9, 2016, the Ministry of Environment Japan agreed with stopping the feeding because it is done by a private B&B lodge, although Shiretoko is a unique area where Blakiston’s fish owl does not depend on feeding. (see my opinion in Asahi Webronza)
Fortunately, JAL stopped the tour  to feeding site of endangered Blakiston’s fish owl and removed the web site. I appreciate JAL's prompt reaction.
A few other tours still continue tours to feeding site of endangered Blakiston’s fish owl. I hope some reaction by Rausu Town Travels and Tourism Association.
