Nishiwaga Town History and Folklore Museum

Wagadake

At an altitude of 1,440 meters, Mt. Wagadake retains valuable natural beauty such as primeval beech forests and clumps of alpine plants. Because the mountain is steep, there are few climbers, so it is full of freshness. The view is good, and on a clear day you can see the mountain range far into the distance. Just looking at the crystal clear water flowing from the headwaters of the Waga River will soothe your soul.

Nagamine Park Refresh Zone

Surrounded by nature, Nagamine Park is fully equipped with camping facilities and is crowded with children's parties and family groups from neighboring municipalities. At night, the starry sky is the best. There are also 4 bungalows, where you can spend a relaxing time with the gentle feel of wood. Nagamine Park Refresh Zone: Nagamine Park, Fureai Yuseikan

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.
