- Miyagi Prefecture Shibata-gun, Kawasaki-machi
- Located near Lake Kamafusa, this is Tohoku’s most extensive public park administered by the national government. It is becoming a popular sightseeing spot since it is close to sightseeing areas such as Akiu Onsen. Visitors can experience Tohoku’s nature and culture, and it is worth seeing the flowers that bloom across the four seasons. Tulips in the spring, and the fields of cosmos flowers that bloom from summer to autumn fill the park with color.

小さい様で十分楽しめるスキー場でした。新雪を踏み荒らした後を滑って重たかったけど、蔵王温泉スキー場の帰りに寄った此処は流しながら滑るのに快適でした。料金も安く、食堂もそれぞれ頑張ってる感ありです。雪質は初めての事ですが何処も良し悪しは天候次第。今回は晴天で快適でした。終了は15：45早めだけど、利用者数からして当然。仙台からの若者が了解する手頃な場所でしょう。我旅人は再び訪れるかどうか判らないので...

ゲレンデの上部は急なところもありますが下の方は凄くなだらかになっています。中盤あたりからスピードを落としてしまうと最後の方は途中で止まってしまう程です（チョット大袈裟かもしれませんが（笑））でもその位になだらかな斜面なので特に初心者や子供にはもってこいなゲレンデだと思います。
