We measured the trigonometric annual parallax of H _ { 2 } O maser source associated with the massive star-forming regions IRAS 06061+2151 with VERA .
The annual parallax of 0.496 \pm 0.031 mas corresponding to a distance of 2.02 ^ { +0.13 } _ { -0.12 } kpc was obtained by 10 epochs of observations from 2007 October to 2009 September .
This distance was obtained with a higher accuracy than the photometric distance previously measured , and places IRAS 06061+2151 in the Perseus spiral arm .
We found that IRAS 06061+2151 also has a peculiar motion of larger than 15 km s ^ { -1 } counter to the Galactic rotation .
That is similar to five sources in the Perseus spiral arm , whose parallaxes and proper motions have already been measured with higher accuracy .
Moreover , these sources move at on average 27 km s ^ { -1 } toward the Galactic center and counter to the Galactic rotation .
