Foliage Updates: Tamagawa, Yoroihata Dam, and Near Lake Tazawa!

Here is Tazawako foliage photos with photos taken a few hours ago!

Photo Taken on October 21, 2011.

The area around Yoroihaihata Power Plant on the way to Tamagawa Dam seems to be in the early stage of foliage. We expect another week before it starts to be covered in hues!

Tamagawa is a huge area. Some parts at high altitude are already at its peak and showing the beautiful colors! Yoroihata Power Plant is located in lower altitude, so that comes after Tamagawa.

Chatate no Shimizu (茶立ての清水) is a place where you can bring bottles to get some “Spring Water for Tea Brewing,” which is what the name implies. Near the street sign, a beautiful maple stands. We are looking forward to seeing bright red on the tree!

Driving from Lake Tazawa down to the Station, you can see Mt. Akita Komagatake up front. There the foliage is already gone and soon will be covered in white!

Beautiful Autumn Foliage Season Has Arrived in Tamagawa

Tamagawa （玉川） is an area in the northern Semboku City. It is known for the beautiful natural scenery and the unique Tamagawa Onsen. In recent years, a location filming of the award-winning Korean Drama IRIS has taken place at the nearby Tamagawa Dam, which made the place one of the visited sites for the royal fans. The beautiful area shows the most vibrant autumn colors and visited by many people around the country. Here are a few pictues taken yesterday by one of our staffs, Mr. H :D
