Tourist attraction • Kamihozawa, Yamagata, 990-0017, Japan
Nestled quietly in Kaminobasawa, the hidden backwoods of Yamagata City, lies Futou-sawa Forest. Selected as one of the "100 Selected Source Water Forests", it is a spot blessed with rich nature and pure water. Forget the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy luxurious time embraced by the great outdoors.
The allure of Futou-sawa Forest lies in its beautiful landscapes that change with the seasons. In spring, the forest offers fresh green leaves, in summer cool streams, in autumn colorful foliage, and in winter snowy scenes that appear almost otherworldly.
Walking along the trails surrounded by rich forest, you’ll be enveloped in air full of negative ions. Listen to the rustling of leaves and birdsong while enjoying a leisurely stroll. It is sure to relieve daily stress and fully relax your mind and body.
Summer is particularly recommended. Even on hot days exceeding 30 degrees, the cool streams offer refreshing coolness. Enjoy river and water activities, but beware of extremely cold water temperatures. Avoid sudden immersion.
Unfortunately, due to ongoing construction, vehicle access is currently unavailable. Please check the latest information and enter on foot. Also, remember to take insect repellent measures. Be particularly cautious of horseflies (ab) in the summer.
Futou-sawa Forest is a special place where you can escape the city's hustle and bustle and become one with nature. The clear waters, lush green forest, and changing seasonal scenery will heal the hearts of visitors. For stress relief and mental refreshment, why not visit at least once? The quiet time spent in nature will surely provide you with new energy.
