Ancient Cedar Grove
Tucked away in Tozawa Village near the Mogami River, Fantasy Forest is a mystical grove of ancient Tsuchiyu cedars, many over 1,000 years old. Their massive, twisting trunks and roots create a surreal landscape that has featured in films and commercials. A woodchip trail winds through the grove, making it accessible for casual walkers. The forest is open from mid-June to late November, as snow renders the area inaccessible during winter. It's a serene spot for nature lovers and photographers seeking a quiet, otherworldly escape. 30 min walk from Takaya station.
