Overview

Arakawa Marshland is a precious area of unspoiled nature located in Aoba-ku, Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture. A boardwalk winds through the expansive marshland, making it easy to explore. A riot of seasonal wildflowers blooms throughout the year, with particularly stunning displays of rare plants such as water snowflakes (*mizubasho*) and skunk cabbages (*zazen-sou*) in the spring. Well-maintained nature trails surround the marshland, offering opportunities for hiking and trekking amidst lush greenery. A nature observation center near the marshland provides information on its rich ecosystem. Arakawa Marshland offers a chance to escape the city bustle and reconnect with nature, rejuvenating your mind and spirit. We highly recommend a visit.
