I visited Sasadaira Marsh in Tochigi Prefecture! Exploration ▼It seems to be a place visited by Emperor Showa. There may be some rare plants and animals living here. ▼It looks quite old, but it is a sturdy boardwalk. ▼The boardwalk inside the marsh is quite narrow. It seems difficult to pass other vehicles. ▼I can see snow in the distance. It probably doesn't get much sunlight. ▼Overall...

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...

五色沼に行ってきました！ 探索 ▼すごい雪の量です。 軽アイゼンが欲しいくらい。 ▼最初の沼に向かいます。 ▼毘沙門沼。 水量はそこそこです。 ▼今回は、時計回りのルートでいきます。 ▼いい感じの雰囲気です。 ▼だんだん雪が増えてきました。 滑り落ちないように注意が必要でした。 ▼だいぶ分かりにくですが、登っていくのが...

This is a paradise for wild birds located very close to the city center.

Exploration ▼You can also have a picnic on the grass while looking out at the sea. ▼A view from the Bird Watching Center There were many people carrying bazooka lenses. ▼Observation lenses for bird watching...

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. You can't go in sneakers. ▼The weather is nice, but it's very cold. You'll freeze. ▼We'll push through the snow! ▼It's hard to tell from the photo, but the reflections from the snow are quite dazzling! ▼We'll go down into the marsh! ...

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 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...
