Towada Hachimantai: A Joy for All Seasons
Towada-Hachimantai National Park is a national park located in a mountainous region of northern Honshu (main island of Japan) that consists of mountains, a lake and mountain streams. The National Park has two regions — the Towada-Hakkoda area with Lake Towada, the Oirase-Keiryu (a mountain stream) and the Hakkoda mountain range; and the Hachimantai area with Mt. Hachimantai, Mt. Akita-Komagatake and Mt. Iwate. Located in one of the most prominent volcanic regions in Japan, this National Park offers an attractive combination of topography full of variety and a diverse ecosystem produced over a long period by volcanic phenomena and the heavy snowfall in winter.
