Takigashira Marsh

Hi everyone! This time I visited Takigashira Marsh situated in Agamachi, Higashikanbara-gun, Niigata prefecture, Japan 🙂 It was on November 3rd, 2024. Cloudy, windy and a bit chilly.This is one of the very rare man-made marshes in Japan, where it is inhabited by aquatic plants, hygrophytes, wild animals etc. Well then, first of all, I am going to share the signs I saw at the spot.
