I went to Kannon Numa in the middle of snow. Exploration ▼I started out wearing gaiters and overpants. The sun wasn't out and the temperature was low. ▼The usual sign was completely buried. It might be about 1m higher than usual. ▼When you come to this area, you will sink quite deep if you walk barefoot. ▼Kannon Numa has turned into a completely snowy field. ▼I kept lifting my legs hard...

I went to Sasshio Marsh in Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture. It's surprising that there is a marsh in Iwaki, where there is less precipitation and snow compared to the west side of Fukushima! Exploration ▼It's small, so you can see the whole thing at a glance. ▼We walk along the old-looking boardwalk. ▼You can pass through the marsh, so if there are flowers blooming, it would be easy to take photos! ▼The boardwalk has collapsed. I was worried that I might step through...

I went to Yashima Marsh in winter! Exploration ▼Snowscape all around. Of course, the toilets are closed in winter. ▼We're leaving! ▼The snow is quite deep.

Since Goshikinuma was sunny, I thought that Kannonuma in winter might be sunny as well, so I came back.

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...

It's beautiful even with the snow! ▼We go down to the promenade. ▼The wind is cold...

I stopped by Kakumanbuchi on my way up Mount Akagi. It's outside of the flower season, but the scenery is pretty nice. Exploration ▼I parked the car at the visitor center and headed out. It's November, so all the leaves have fallen. ▼After a short walk, I soon reached the pond. There is a boardwalk, so I could take a leisurely stroll. ▼It's a beautiful view. I felt like I wanted to look at it forever...
