Todowara
A desolate wilderness created by standing dead Sakhalin fir trees on the Notsuke Peninsula
A group of standing dead Sakhalin fir trees on the Notsuke Peninsula, where erosion by seawater and sea winds has created a unique landscape of decay.
Walking along the maintained wooden boardwalk, you see fallen dead Sakhalin fir trees lying in gray forms, with a desolate landscape spreading before your eyes. As sea breezes blow through carrying the scent of salt, the quietly standing white decaying trees tell of the harshness of nature in the northern land. The transformation of what was once a lush green forest through seawater erosion lets you simultaneously feel the power and transience of nature's workings.
In the central part of the same Notsuke Peninsula lies "Narawara," an area of standing dead Japanese oak trees. Compared to Todowara, the dead trees here retain more of their original form, allowing you to imagine their former shapes. The contrast woven by these two standing dead tree areas creates a unique landscape distinctive to the Notsuke Peninsula.
