    Akita Pref. Sembokushi Tazawakosashimaki
    This wetland is in Tazawako Sashimaki, Semboku City. Spread out over three hectares along national route 46, it features clusters of white skunk cabbage and Japanese alder. The white skunk cabbage blooms from mid-April through early May, and they hold many events for the Sashimaki Mizubasho Festival during that time.

    真冬にたまたま通りかかったので寄ってみました。 駐車場は広く、木道もあって、夏に水芭蕉があればいい環境だと思いました。 国道沿いにこんな自然があるのはいいですね。

Akita Areas

Famed for its sake and samurai, Akita prefecture offers quintessential Japanese culture in a non-touristy setting. Alongside the celebrated rice paddies and historical sites of the region lies dramatic natural scenery in the form of the rugged coastline of the Oga Peninsula and the Dakigaeri Gorge, best visited in autumn, when the leaves begin to change color.
