Skunk cabbage in Hakutori Wetland

Surrounded by the Kitakami Mountains, including Mt. Takamori and Mt. Hakutori, the Hakutori Wetland is a natural treasure trove that was selected in 1988 as one of Japan's top 100 natural areas to preserve in the 21st century. When spring is still early, skunk cabbage secretly opens its white flowers behind a forest of beech, Quercus oak, and Betula birch. The contrast between the gray trees and the skunk cabbage dotted around their roots creates a tranquil atmosphere reminiscent of European forests. Japanese shorthorn cattle are also grazed within the large wetland. [Blooming period] Early to mid-May

Akka Cave, located in the northern part of the Kitakami Mountains, is a large cave with a total length of 23.7 km, the longest in Japan. The full story of the labyrinth dungeon is still unknown. It is truly a stalactite museum where you can see almost all types of stalactites. Nationally designated natural monument
