I went to Goshiki-numa! Exploration ▼There's a huge amount of snow. I almost need some light crampons. ▼Heading to the first swamp. ▼Bishamon-numa. There's a decent amount of water. ▼This time, I took the clockwise route. ▼It had a nice atmosphere. ▼The snow gradually increased. I had to be careful not to slip off. ▼It's a bit hard to understand, but the climb...

Since Goshikinuma was sunny, I thought that Kannonuma in winter might be sunny as well, so I came back. Exploration ▼Unlike yesterday, the weather was very good! ▼When the weather is good, you can take beautiful photos. ▼Mistletoe ▼Sticky berries ▼Beautiful blue sky. ▼There was no wind, so the sky was reflecting! ▼At this time of year, there are hardly any people or animals. ▼So I was able to have this scenery all to myself...

Following on from yesterday's Yanohara and Kannon-numa, I explored the marshes of Fukushima. First, I visited Goshikinuma in Urabandai. Exploration ▼I started walking, but there was a fair amount of snow. It seemed a bit tough in sneakers. ▼There was almost no slope in Goshikinuma, so I decided to go ahead. ▼The usual souvenir shops were buried (lol) ▼Bishamon-numa Maybe it's because the weather is nice...

After Yanohara Marsh, we arrived at Kannon Marsh. In stark contrast to Yanohara Marsh, there was no snow at all! Exploration ▼We parked the car in an empty parking lot and started out. It gets busy during the autumn foliage season, but there seem to be few visitors at this time of year. ▼Compared to summer and autumn, it is quite bleak. ▼All the leaves have fallen, so you can see the marsh clearly. ▼There are trees that look like they are from the...

I went to Yanohara Marsh just before winter. This area gets heavy snow, so this is the last time you can visit by car. Exploration ▼As usual, we parked the car and set off! Snow has already started to pile up. We really made it to the last minute! ▼We can see the northern swamp! ▼The usual spot! It's beautiful even with the snow! ▼We go down to the promenade. ▼The wind is cold...

I went to Oshimizu Marsh in Akita Prefecture. Exploration ▼Head to the Hyakutaku trailhead. There is a sign at the entrance. ▼Turn left and enter a narrow road. ▼Climb 13km on a rough, bumpy road. ▼The road was rough, with overgrown grass and parts of the road collapsing. ▼Somehow I arrived at the parking lot! ▼I got ready and started moving! ▼I continued on in the scorching sun...

I went to Ryugahara Marsh in Akita Prefecture. Exploration ▼The Haraigawa trailhead of Mt. Chokai is the entrance to Ryugahara Marsh. I parked my car and started. The weather was perfect! ▼There was a nice toilet. ▼There was a signboard that looked like it had been well-built. ▼There seemed to be an observation deck, so I headed there and suddenly discovered a marsh-like place! I had high hopes! ▼Spring lilies ▼The road to the observation deck was also good...

I went to Shishigahana Marsh in Akita Prefecture. Exploration ▼Because it is a well-known marsh, the parking lot is large. In addition, there is also a parking lot for buses. ▼It is quite well equipped with clean toilets, vending machines, a rest house, and other facilities. ▼There are also good signs, which is interesting. ▼It seems that the range of visitors is quite wide. ▼First of all, Midsummer Forest...

I went to the Yone Marsh in Yamagata Prefecture. Exploration ▼I parked my car in the parking lot and started. I forgot to take a picture, but the parking lot is relatively large and can accommodate about 5-7 cars. ▼A rough map. ▼It says the entrance to Mt. Taihei, but the entrance to the marsh is also here. ▼After going a little further, the road splits into two directions, one for the marsh and the other for Mt. Taihei. ▼I went down towards the marsh...

I went to Nakamura Marsh in Yamagata Prefecture. Although it was small, I was able to observe many different creatures. Exploration ▼I parked my car in the parking lot and started. The road to the parking lot was narrow and had many ups and downs. It might be difficult if your car is low-riding. ▼After a short walk, I headed to the marsh! ▼I soon arrived in front of the marsh. ▼It seems there is another marsh in the back. ▼The first marsh is small...
