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.
