Kannonuma Forest Park is a natural park located in Shimogo, Fukushima Prefecture.
There are several hiking trails, including one that goes around the perimeter of the pond, where you can enjoy the scenery throughout the four seasons.
It is also a habitat for rare species such as the red-tailed dragonfly.
Touring the Marshes

▼The time of year when it's just about time for snow to fall.

▼A season when an enormous amount of snow falls.
Snow protection is a must.
middle of February
▼There is a lot of snow, but it is less than in January. (Does it vary from year to year?)
Equipment, stamina, and skills
▼The park is large and has several hiking trails of about 2-3km each.
There are few ups and downs on either route, so you don't need much physical strength.
▼It's easy to walk in, so you can easily walk around in sneakers.
The area is generally sunny, but it can be quite hot in August, so please be careful of heatstroke.
There are no vending machines around the park, so you will need to prepare in advance.
▼Until around December, there wasn't much snow.
In January, it snows heavily, as shown in the photo.
If you stand with your feet exposed, you will be buried up to your knees, so gaiters are a must.
