With over 1,000 species of subalpine and alpine plants living here, it is also known as a "treasure trove of alpine plants," and the plants throughout the four seasons are attractive. From the viewpoint of Miharashidake along the way, on a clear day, you can enjoy a view of the Northern Alps and the entire marshland♪
