Appi Kogen Beech Secondary Forest
This beech forest is located in Appikogen, Hachimantai City. After being cut down for materials in the early Showa period (1925-1989), it is called a secondary forest because it regenerated over 80 years. There are trekking courses that allow you to stroll through the forest, and it has been selected as one of the top 100 Forested Valleys in Japan.
