Baikamo is a perennial submerged plant of the buttercup family that blooms white flowers in summer. It grows in a stable place with a flowing water temperature of around 15°C, prefers sandy sand, and is vulnerable to water pollution.
Due to this feature, the habitat is limited, and depending on the species, it is also a valuable flower that has been designated as an endangered species.
It grows naturally even at Oosuzu, and now white flowers are blooming on the surface of the water. The small and pretty flowers combine with the surrounding landscape to create a refreshing atmosphere.
