    This garden is located in 2-Chiwari, Matsuoyoriki, Hachimantai City. Many kinds of wetland plants grow around the marsh, and since the nearby Akanuma Marsh is tinted by the ferric oxide in its waters, it is also called Goshiki (“five color”) Marsh. It is known as a lake that never freezes, even at -30°C. A trail that can be walked in 90 minutes has been laid out along the HachimantaiAspite Line Road.

    Iwate Hachimantai-shi Hachimantai Midorigaoka
    This marsh is located along the Hachimantai Aspite Line Road in Hosono, Hachimantai City. The marsh was created when volcanic activity blocked a river. Day lilies, marsh orchids, and other high-altitude plants grow here. Visitors can go trekking on the paths that have been laid out, and to refresh themselves, they can go to nearby the water called Kuma-no-Izumi (Bear’s spring water).

Iwate Areas

A northern Tohoku prefecture promising peace and quiet, Iwate is sparsely populated, replacing people with snow-capped mountains, history-rich sites, and fields of crops that are to thank for the region’s delicious local cuisine. Meander along the three-city Golden Route, where you’ll visit the grand Buddhist temples of Hiraizumi and the Tono folk villages before tasting the three famed noodle dishes of Morioka.
