▼We follow the familiar signs towards the marsh.

There is still snow left in the shade.

▼As for Mount Dokaku, I have actually never climbed it.

I think I'll try climbing it next time.

▼Arrived at the marsh!

The snow has completely melted in the sun.

▼It's hard to see in the photo, but there is a large cluster of Dogtooth Violets!

▼Plenty of water.

It feels like spring.

▼There is even this much snow piled up in some shady areas!

If you wear sneakers, you may get wet.

▼It feels like there should be Asian skunk cabbage here, but I've never seen any here.

It's strange that they grow in abundance in the neighboring Himekawa River.

▼It's nice, spring-like weather.

In the main marsh area, only small buds are beginning to appear.

The weather is nice, but it's quite cold.

The temperature difference is extreme.

▼This is a stream that cannot be seen in summer.

Looking at it this way, Oyami Marsh is abundant with water.

▼It's a bleak scene.

From here, the plants compete with each other to grow as we approach summer.

Here's an introduction to the plants and animals we encountered.

▼Dianthus nigricans

It is a small and pretty white flower.

▼ Dogtooth violet

This flower is characterized by its unique purple color and downward-facing flowers.

When I see this, I feel like I've come to Hakuba in spring.

▼They grow in clusters.

▼We also encountered a Japanese grass lizard.

They must have gotten moving as they felt the spring sunshine!

▼A dignified face.

It recognises the camera and is on alert.

Blue Threadfly

It has beautiful wings with black and blue accents.

▼Natural moss ball.

▼ Butterbur Shoots

Overview of Marshland Information

summary

Although it is a little plain compared to other marshes, spring has also arrived at Oyami Marsh.

If you want to experience a quiet and deserted place, I recommend Oyami Marsh!
