Kuroyachi Wetland

Hachimantai City Matsuo Mine Museum

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". This facility specializes in preserving and exhibiting materials from the Matsuo Mine, which was said to have the highest sulfur production in the East and was closed in 1964.

Gozaishoenchi

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.
