2. 嚴美溪 Genbikei Gorge
長約2公里的溪谷由被急流刮削的奇岩和瀑布構成。雪水和兩岸約200棵的櫻樹形成一體,宛如日本畫般。一面飽餐這裡有名的點心「飛天米粉糰」,一面欣賞美景可說是一種享受。
This 2-kilometer river gorge features waterfalls and fantastically shaped rocks that were carved out by the rushing waters. The beautiful scenery of the clear meltwater and 200 cherry blossom trees lining the riverbanks looks like a Japanese painting.

4. 鏡沼 Kagami-numa Pond
這是位於八幡平的眾多湖沼中的一個。直徑約50米,因美麗的青綠色見稱。湖水會出現巨大的「龍眼」,只在雪不斷溶解的新綠時期才會呈現。雪的顏色和湛藍的水面構成的神秘景色是不可錯過的。
Located in the city of Hachimantai, Kagami-numa Pond is a beautiful 50-meter-wide blue pond in the middle of a wetland marsh. When the snow starts to melt and new growth begins to appear, the pond looks like a gigantic “dragon eye.” The white snow and sparkling blue water is a magical, must-see sight.
