Here is a draft article about the Gamo-no-Tanchi Pond scenic area in Yamagata, with headings designed to highlight its unique charms:

Gamo-no-Tanchi Pond: Reflection of Mountains on a Mirror-Like Surface

Located near Zao Onsen in Yamagata, Gamo-no-Tanchi Pond is a quiet marshland that offers a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains reflected on its clear, mirror-like surface.

Grand Harmony of Forests and Lakes

The approximately 1.5km walking trail surrounds the pond, allowing visitors to enjoy the deep green forest bathing and also to appreciate the panoramic view of the pond in open areas. If you listen carefully to the chirping of birds and the sound of insects, it's like listening to a symphony of nature.

Rich and Colorful Expressions Throughout the Seasons

In the fresh green season, it is surrounded by vivid greenery, and in summer, the deep green of the trees contrasts with the blue of the water surface. In the autumn foliage season, the surrounding mountains blaze with color, and the reflected scenery in the pond becomes even more vibrant. In winter, the figure of the pond standing quietly in the snowy landscape is etched in the eyes.

Seeking Traces of Animals

At times, you may catch a glimpse of small animals in this pond. You may feel the breath of the natural creatures, such as the Japanese serow coming to drink water or the footprints remaining on the sandy shore.

Why not encounter the irreplaceable natural landscape in this place overlooking the Zao mountains? There are healing scenic views waiting for you here.

すのうぼう

May 2024 It was about 1.5km per lap, a good distance for a light walk🚶‍♂️. I think it depends on the season 🌸🌻🍂❄, but I think you can still enjoy a pleasant walk except when it's snowy. 👫There is also a skunk cabbage colony along the tour, which should be fun around April 🎶 Other than that, there are also small spots scattered around, such as ``Yokokura Falls'', ``Sukeo Sato's ``Turning'' Sculpture'', and ``Mokichi Saito Monument''✨ However, now 🚜 it doesn't seem to be well managed and things aren't looking very good. I couldn't help but feel a bit run down 💦 Too bad Speaking of decaying, it was probably a fine facility at the time🎾There were 7 tennis courts? It seems that it was crowded with the combination of sightseeing and sports facilities. 🅿️Parking lot🚗³₃ Along Prefectural Route 14 ``Kamiyama Zao Park Line'' there is a sign saying ``Sushi no Yachinuma 🅿️'' but it is difficult to understand so be careful ⚠️ However, even if you enter here, there are only 3 parking spaces, and there is a larger parking space if you enter from about 350m down (no signboards).

みみみみやび

It's a swamp. (Scenic spots) It is located a little way along Yamagata Prefectural Route 14 Kamiyama Zao Park Line. Parking is available. The road from Route 14 to the parking lot is narrow and there is only room for one car. It is also not very well maintained, so be careful as there are grasses and tree branches protruding from the side of the road. There is a promenade around the swamp that is about 1.5 km long. There is also a colony of skunk cabbage nearby. When I explored the area, I found the surrounding area to be very quiet, with only the sounds of birds and insects, which made me feel very calm. The view of the waterside surrounded by green mountains was beautiful. When I looked in the distance, I could see the ropeway going up to Zao. There were some waves in the swamp due to the wind, but when there were no waves, the mountain scenery seemed to be reflected in the swamp like a mirror. Also, during the autumn leaves season, the mountains change color and you can see even more beautiful scenery. The fresh greenery and marshes were beautiful in the summer, but I would like to visit in the fall as there are many scenery I haven't seen yet. There were snakes and insects when I was walking, so those who don't like snakes should be careful.

2023.10.24 This year, my 20th solo trip to Michinoku was to Yamagata Zao Onsen, which was inspired by my previous trip to Naruko Onsen. Just before deciding on a place to stay, I had a hard time deciding on Iizaka Onsen, one of the three famous hot springs in Oshu. Visit Lake Sakazuki, located on the outskirts of Yamagata Zao Onsen town, after experiencing the pre-peak autumn leaves. A promenade on uneven ground has been set up along the swamp, and you can enjoy the scenery reflected in the water from various angles. The promenade is relatively flat and you can easily walk around it. Along the way, you can also see ``Yokokura Falls'', and if the autumn leaves near the summit of Mt. The more red the autumn leaves appear, the more impressive it will be, but it's not bad to walk among the yellow trees.

It's perfect for an early morning walk ☺️ It's about a 15 minute walk from the hotel, so I headed out right away 😃 There are promenades around the swamp, so it was easy to walk ☺️ Half of it is forest The middle half and the other half are areas where you can see the entire swamp, so you can enjoy forest bathing and take a walk while enjoying the scenery. I took a walk from the forest side. A small two-tiered waterfall called Yokokura Falls was flowing, and beyond it was a colony of skunk cabbage. Unfortunately, it was out of season so I couldn't admire the flowers 😢 As I went further, the forest broke off and I came to a wide open area in front of me😃 Then, to my surprise, I came across an antelope eating leaves right in front of me. Yo 😲 Wow, I was surprised 😅 They probably came out to drink water ☺️ There were a lot of animal footprints 🐾 left in the sand near the water 😅 However, the upside-down view reflected on the water surface always impresses me 😃 And surprisingly, in the end, I came across a statue of a woman that didn't look right on the edge of the swamp😯It turned out to be a work called "Turning Around" by a sculptor named Sukeo Sato☺️
