I went to Komadome Marsh in Minamiaizu, Fukushima Prefecture.

▼Park the car and set off.

▼You can enjoy plants in every season.

▼Perhaps because it is a natural monument, it is cared for very carefully.

There were about three guides.

▼This is the first time I've seen such detailed guidance.

▼First, we head through the forest area.

▼ Deer-repellent netting

▼The signs are also well-designed.

▼We immediately start walking along the boardwalk.

▼ Cotton grass is in bloom.

▼ It’s not as fluffy anymore lol

▼ Sympetrum nigricans

▼It looks like it's before blooming.

▼For animal observation?

▼Dragonfly

▼It is a wonderful environment, as it is registered as a natural monument.

▼The boardwalk is damaged.

Apparently over 60,000 tourists visit the site every year, so perhaps the site is subject to rapid wear and tear.

▼ Tateyama Gentian

▼There were Asian skunk cabbage growing along the river.

▼Finally, there is a beech forest.

▼This time, I'll head home here.

▼It's along a farm road, but the scenery isn't bad.

Overview of Marshland Information

summary

It was a beautiful marsh, as it has been designated a natural monument.

It seems that there are also equipment and labor costs involved.

I wish everywhere could do this.

I think we need a system that allows us tourists to collect funds to improve the environment.
