A vast wetland surrounded by beech forests, offering breathtaking seasonal scenery—a true treasure of nature!
Komadome Marsh is a wetland located at an altitude of approximately 1,400 meters in Minamiaizu-machi, Fukushima Prefecture. Surrounded by a serene and majestic beech forest, it offers a tranquil escape into nature. Once used as rice paddies, the area has returned to its natural state, resulting in its current stunning beauty. In spring, *mizubashō* (Lysichiton camtschatcense) blooms after the snow melts, creating a magical landscape. Summer brings fields of *watasuge* (Eriophorum vaginatum), their delicate white cotton-like seed heads swaying gently in the breeze. Autumn paints the beech forest in vibrant reds and yellows, adding a spectacular touch to the marsh. A variety of alpine plants thrive here, offering a colorful display throughout the year. Immerse yourself in the tranquility, and let time slow down in this exceptional place. Komadome Marsh is approximately a 30-minute drive from Aizu Kogen Nangō Ski Resort. Please note that access may be difficult during winter due to heavy snowfall. The area also boasts other attractions such as Aizu Kogen Nangō Ski Resort and the Bandai-Azuma Skyline, making it a perfect destination for a wider exploration.
