六郷扇状地, Alluvial fan formation in Rokugo, Japan.

The Rokugo Alluvial Fan stretches across Misato Town in Akita Prefecture, formed by the Maruko River of the Omono River system.

The geological formation of the Rokugo Alluvial Fan occurred during the Late Pleistocene to Holocene periods of the Quaternary era.

The Rokugo springs, numbering approximately 60 locations throughout the fan, earned recognition as one of Japan's Top 100 Water Sources in 1985.

The land surrounding the alluvial fan serves agricultural purposes, with rice paddies receiving irrigation from the Nanataki water system.

The sedimentary layers contain a 20-30 meter thick gravel bed with silt and clay deposits, reaching depths between 50 to 107 meters at its southern end.
