Japanese
Aquatic Plant in the Tawara Wetland（Tawara-shitchi-no Mizukusa）
田原湿地の水草
Green plant swaying in the water current
The Tawara Wetland has been chosen as one of the “500 Important Wetlands in Japan.” If you look into a water channel that runs along the walking trail, you can see a kind of aquatic plant swaying in the water current. The plant is Sparganium erectum (branched bur-reed). Since wetlands have been whittled away throughout Japan, the areas in the country that this plant inhabits have also decreased.
