Let's go to Midagahara Marsh!
This is a vast marshland located at the 8th station of Mt. Gassan in Yamagata Prefecture.
Mt. Gassan is known as an area that receives heavy snowfall in winter.
In summer, the snow melts, providing large amounts of water to the marsh.
This marshland is attractive for its abundant water sources and vastness.

Equipment, stamina, and skills
If you are not climbing Mt. Gassan, you can dress quite lightly.
If you go during the autumn foliage season, the temperature drops in the early morning and evening, so it's a good idea to bring warm clothing.
▼The trailhead to the 8th station can be accessed by car.
▼If you are only exploring the marshland, there is a boardwalk so it is easy to walk on.
