In 2018, the Mother Tree’s trunk broke in a typhoon, but it remains an awe-inspiring presence.The broken-off trunk has been left to lie where it fell rather than carried away by human hands. The pool of light around the tree that streams in through the new gap in the canopy has allowed new trees to take root around it, demonstrating the natural cycle of renewal.Beeches and many other kinds of tree line the trail to the Mother Tree, and just beyond it is an observation point with views of Mount Iwaki and Mount Oppudake.The village of Nishimeya is the gateway to Shirakami-Sanchi on the Aomori side and an important source of water for the region. With high variations in temperature, it is also well known as a producer of buckwheat and soba noodles.Soba from Nishimeya is sold under the brand “Shirakami Soba.” It is made entirely in the village, from cultivating, harvesting, and grinding the buckwheat to making the noodles themselves. Because no agrochemicals are used, it is made only in small batches, and known to aficionados as the “illusive soba,” hard to obtain outside the region.At a facility in the village, visitors can try making soba for themselves. Freshly made soba boiled in water from Shirakami-Sanchi is delightfully firm, with a rich fragrance and just a hint of innate sweetness. Even eating soba can be a moving experience when you make the noodles yourself.Do not go to the toilet anywhere except an actual toilet. Go in advance, or carry a portable toilet with you.Do not bring pets into the region.Never enter the mountains without lodging a hiking plan where required.To Don’t ListTaste the natural richesof Shirakami insoba form.
