It is part of the 260.41 hectares of wetland entered on the Ramsar list on 8 November 2005, crossed by wooden boardwalks that protect the ground from trampling.
It lies within the special protection zone of Nikko National Park and is home to more than a hundred species of marsh plants, including cotton grass, azaleas and meadowsweet. Fences against deer have allowed the vegetation to grow back, and at certain times invasive species such as giant ragweed are removed.
