Let's go to Shishigahana Marsh!

This is a marshland at the foot of Mount Chokai in Akita Prefecture.

The entire area is a nationally designated natural monument.

Touring the Marshes

Late July

▼This is a landscape where forest and flowing water coexist, which cannot be seen in other wetlands.

▼It is also known for the largest deformed beech in Japan, called King Agariko, and is an interesting tourist spot.

Equipment, stamina, and skills

The path itself is well paved and easy to walk.

I don't think it's dangerous even if you're wearing light clothing.

It's hot in the forest but cool near the water.

However, since the course lasts two and a half hours, drinks are a must.

▼There is a detailed map with distances and times marked on it.
