[Yamagata] Relax in the blue pond and clear streams ✨ Introducing free cooling spots 🔍

Some people don't often choose Yamagata as a travel destination, but there are many wonderful places in Yamagata! This time, we will introduce a refreshing spot in the northern part of Yamagata Prefecture that is perfect for summer! The place is "Maruike Pond" and "Ushiwatari River (Baikamo)" in Yuza Town, Yamagata Prefecture. Maruike Pond is a spring-fed pond that looks bright blue, and Ushiwatari River is a clear stream that flows nearby. ✨ When it comes to blue ponds, Hokkaido and Aomori may be famous, but this one is not as big as them, but it also has a beautiful blue color. 🟦 Ushiwatari River is home to Baikamo, a water plant that can only grow in clear water. 🌱 You can't see it now, but in May and June, the flowers bloom and pop out of the water, swaying gently with the flow of the water, which is a truly healing sight. 😍 In autumn, it is also a place where salmon swim upstream, and the sight of them swaying gently with the flow of the water is also a delight. 🐟 More than enough! There are probably still many people who don't know about it! Please go and feel relaxed! In the same town of Yuza, there is an ancient temple that gives off an incredible atmosphere! That temple is "Eisenji Temple". I've introduced it in another post!
