Ushiwatari River and Maruike-sama Pond

The spring water flowing abundantly here creates a mysterious scene. In early summer, the aquatic plant baikamo (Ranunculus nipponicus var. submerses) sways beautifully on the river’s surface, and in autumn and winter, large numbers of salmon swim upstream. These sites are both located at the edge of rocks created by lava flow from Mt. Chokai.
