Shiraki Pass

Gobansho (checkpoints) were once located in Nishiwaga Town (formerly Yuda Town) and Yokote City, Akita Prefecture (formerly Yamauchi Village), and the approximately 6km old road between them was called the Shiraki Pass Road. It is also written in old books that Sadato Abe passed away during the post of Go Sannen, and there is a memorial tower for those who lost their lives due to snow damage during the feudal period. It is now a hiking course, and clusters of camellias and skunk cabbage can be seen around the promenade.

Sawauchi Natural Bracken Garden

A vast bracken garden spreads out at the foot of Mt. Wagadake. You can harvest Nishiwarabi, a specialty of the town, with your own hands. Since you will be harvesting in nature, please bring work gloves and clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. The harvest season is usually from late May to the end of June. The opening schedule is subject to change depending on the snow melting situation. Please check before going out. This is a vast bracken garden that spreads out at the foot of Mt. Wagadake.
