I visited the Katakinuma Marsh in Yurihonjo, Akita Prefecture. I'd previously visited in late July, but this was my first time visiting in early spring. The parking lot was quite spacious. I wonder when the main season is. Here's a glimpse of the Katakinuma Marsh. Despite its low-lying location, the ponds are visible, creating a wonderful atmosphere. If you shift your gaze slightly, you'll see a deep pond that seems to surround the marsh.

This time, I went to Mt. Hiuchi in Myoko Kogen. In addition to the marshes such as Imori Pond and Numanohara Marsh, Myoko Kogen is also rich in mountains such as Mt. Myoko and Mt. Kurohime. When I climbed Mt. Myoko before, I could see Tengu's Garden from the top, and I wanted to go there someday. It seems to be famous for its autumn leaves, but I decided to climb it because I thought the lush marshland in summer would be nice too...

I have visited Hachimantai twice in the past for general sightseeing purposes. Compared to before, transportation has improved dramatically, but it is not an easy place to get to, so I had to look around a lot. Preface The summit of Hachimantai is located at an altitude of 1,613 m and is one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan.

Tateshina was faintly visible in the valleys, but I went to see nature at Gosen-sui Nature Park, a walking trail through a virgin forest that spreads across the middle of Mt.
