Nature / Scenery

    If you follow the promenade from near the Hachimantai Aspite Line Gate exit, you will arrive at Gozaishoenchi. The area around Gozaisho-numa and Akanuma is a treasure trove of alpine plants with pretty flowers in full bloom. Let's take a walk along the wetland path while paying attention to the wetland plants that color the seasons: spring, summer, and autumn. The two swamps have fantastic colors, but Akanuma in particular is also called ``Goshikinuma'' because the color of the lake changes due to iron oxide, and it is an ice-free lake that does not freeze even at -30 degrees Celsius. be. You can walk around the two swamps once along the wooden path in 90 minutes. I'm looking forward to encountering alpine plants such as daylilies and daisies.

    There are seven springs in Matsuo Yosegi, Hachimantai City, and they are also known as the ``Zato Shimizu Spring Group'' and many legends have been told about them. One such story is that the seven-headed dragon that lived at the waterfall in Mt. Iwate burrowed underground and emerged from the mountain village at the source of the spring. It has been designated as one of the 100 best waters by the Environment Agency.

    It was built in 1981 as the "Matsuo History and Folklore Museum" to preserve and display materials in various fields such as archeology and folklore from the former Matsuo Village area, but from April 2014 it has been renovated as the "paradise above the clouds".
