岩手から秋田にまたがる国立公園八幡平の山頂付近にある鏡沼の雪解けの様子が、まるで龍の眼の様に見えることから「八幡平ドラゴンアイ」と呼ばれており、５月の中旬から６月の中旬の限られた時期に見られる神秘的な景色です。
積雪量や雪解け、天候の状況などの条件がそろうと姿を現す自然の現象を見に是非お出かけください。

Located near Hachimantai Summit within the national park that extends from Iwate Prefecture into Akita Prefecture, this phenomenon is so called because the shape of the snow melting on Kagami-numa Pond looks just like a giant dragon's eye. This mysterious scene can only be seen for a limited time from mid-May to mid-June.
We highly recommend coming to see this natural phenomenon whose shape only appears if snowfall, snowmelt, weather conditions, etc. are just right.
