Enjoy the rich natural environment at the foot of Mt. Chokai, a famous mountain in Tohoku
The forested area on the inland (east) side of Mt. Chokai is dotted with natural attractions that are considered to be unexplored regions. The abundant water resources provided by Mt.

The famous Hottai Falls is protected as an Akita Prefectural Place of Scenic Beauty and a Prefectural Natural Monument, the Kuwanokidai Wetland is a secluded area with beautiful views of wild grass, flowers, and Mt. Chokai, and the beautiful autumn foliage of the Ryugahara Wetland can be seen at Mt. Chokai's Haraigawa Trailhead from the 5th station.
