Hōzōji Marsh

The Hōzōji Marsh forms a network of artificial ponds within Hanyū Riverside Park, creating habitats for numerous aquatic plants and wildlife species.

The marsh evolved from agricultural irrigation systems during the development of the Hanyu region, transforming into a protected natural area in the 20th century.

Local schools conduct regular field research at the marsh, teaching students about wetland ecosystems and environmental conservation through hands-on experiences.

Visitors can access the marsh through marked pathways in Hanyū Riverside Park, with designated observation points for watching migratory birds throughout the year.

Scientists monitor the marsh's water chemistry patterns and ecological changes, contributing to research about climate effects on Japanese wetland environments.
