Takimidai

Komakusadaira Observatory
Komakusadaira is located at a location down from the Zao okama creter toward Togatta Onsen, and is a view spot named after the bloom of Dicentra peregrina flowers in early summer.

The quality of the water is an acidic freshwater lake, does not inhabit any creatures, has a color like emerald green, and is also called Goshikinuma.
