The large marshland area on the city border is home to colorful alpine plants that bloom in season, creating a feeling of another world. It is a perfect place for a walk, and a delight for hikers and tourists.

Located at the Sakai area between Semboku City and Kazuno City, this 4-hectare marshland is 970 meters above sea level and is surrounded by beech forests and plants such as marsh sedge. From spring to summer, you can enjoy flowers such as Asian skunk cabbage, Rhododendron amplexicaule, and Hemerocallis day lilies, and in autumn, the vast marshland scenery, including the beech trees, will captivate your eyes.
