Midagahara

Mitagahara stands at an elevation of 1600 meters, featuring expansive wetlands and pyroclastic formations that shape its natural landscape.

The Japanese government designated this location as a protected Ramsar site, joining the international convention for wetland preservation in 1980.

The natural area serves as a meeting point for researchers and scientists who study the geological formations and document the local wildlife species.

Visitors can access multiple hiking trails throughout the tableland, with clear signage indicating routes suitable for different experience levels.

The pyroclastic plateau contains specific wetland ecosystems where numerous bird species establish their habitats at high altitude conditions.
