Lake Kinshu

Soft-shelled turtle

Nishiwaga Town is blessed with abundant hot spring resources and beautiful scenery. This rich hot spring resource is utilized not only for tourism but also for farming soft-shelled turtles. It is said that it takes 4 to 5 years for soft-shelled turtles to be shipped using normal farming, but with hot spring water, they can be shipped after 2 years. Please enjoy the soft-shelled turtles grown using natural energy "hot spring water."
