Ukishima-no Mori Island was created by piles of plants and fallen trees that stacked to form a natural raft that rises and falls with the water. A mixture of cold amphibious plants, such as the blunt-leaved bog-moss and cinnamon fern, and warm amphibious plants, such as cyclosorus interruptus, grow together on the island.
There is a sad legend of a girl who was swallowed by the large snake living in the bottomless swamp.
You can cross the pier to get to Ukijima-no Mori Island, and walk through the island.
You can join one of the Nature Observation Tours, lead by Shingu City Sightseeing Guides.
