On the way back after visiting Farm Tomita, you'll pass by Hokuseiyama. The hilly landscape is a bit different from Farm Tomita, but the flowers are mostly similar. The main reason to come is for the scenery.

Lake Tazawa
Lake Tazawa is the deepest lake in Japan at 423.4m deep. The lake, with its breathtakingly beautiful cobalt blue surface, is a scenic spot in Akita Prefecture, selected as one of the 100 most scenic spots in Japan. In 2022, the moon rising over Lake Tazawa will be recognized as one of Japan's 100 Most Beautiful Moons, adding even more charm to the lake.
Walking around the lake is really relaxing. It's perfect for a slow stroll, and the color of the lake looks different from every angle.

Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale
In the green, lush countryside of Echigo-Tsumari, Niigata prefecture is a modern art exhibit held throughout the year. The “Art Triennial” held every 3 years features permanent exhibits as well as new pieces, alongside various performances and workshops.
Putting art in rice fields, abandoned schools, and the mountains is honestly pretty impressive. The scenery is already beautiful, and the art just makes it even better.

NIFREL – Interactive Aqua Zoo
A new type of museum produced by the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, blending an aquarium, zoo, and art museum. With the concept of "engaging the senses," the space is divided into eight themed zones, such as “Colors” and “Movements,” each showcasing unique creatures and immersive installations to highlight the theme of “diversity.” The massive art space "WONDER MOMENTS" captures nature’s breathtaking moments through powerful music and visuals, offering an experience that envelops visitors in a sense of wonder.
The lighting and projections are amazing—every photo you take looks like a work of art.
