Oze National Park — Attraction in Hinoemata

I recommend This park as one of the most beautiful walking and trekking place close to Tokyo. The nature conservation is perfectly managed and the infrastructures, chalets, toilets, visitors centers is the best I have seen. 65 km of walking paths 2 ways, each 50 cm wide. The pristine nature, forests, swamps and rivers are managed with as few human interactions as possible, and it looks as a perfect wild forest ( I am forester and really appreciate). We started at Numayama Toge, 6:00, coming from Tokyo by night train (Aizukogen Ozeguchi) then bus to Numayama Toge (don’t go out at the car parking!). We walked to Ozenuma visitors center (closed) and bought food/drinks, walked (not easy , not for beginner, good shoes and equipment needed) to hotel chalet at Yashirogoya, good sleeping, very good food, hot bath (public, males and then females), perfect after good walk. Then from Yashirogoya to Ryugugoya, Yoppi bridge, Oze Yamanohana visitors center (open), lunch, Hatomachi (some climbing), bus, Tokura no yu Oze Nature center (nice), Oze Tokura bus to SHinjuku. 2 nights 2 days. No for trekking beginners (I am old and did it right with few leg pain). This is the most beautiful place I have seen in natural...

群馬、新潟、福島、栃木の四県に跨る広大な敷地にて春夏秋冬と豊かな自然を鑑賞することができる場所。公共交通機関、マイカー共に行くことが出来る。群馬県側から行く場合で、マイカーの場合は戸倉駐車場で車を停め、マイクロバスに乗り換えて鳩待峠を目指す。鳩待峠からは歩きで尾瀬ヶ原や尾瀬沼へ向かうことになる。初心者でも歩きやすいコースとなっているが、それなりの距離となっているので、各人の体力と変わりやすい天候等に注意してトレッキングを楽しみたい。夏が来れば思い出す遥かな尾瀬、遠い空の歌詞の通り、遥かなる続く空を見ながら、美しく豊かな自然を味わうことができ、池塘が点在する尾瀬ヶ原から見える燧ヶ岳がとても印象的。 運が良ければテンなどの動物にも会えるが、熊鈴なども帯同してツキノワグマとの遭遇には気をつけたい。木の歩道を整備し、自然を守ってくださっている方々に感謝。

The vast site, which straddles the four prefectures of Gunma, Niigata, Fukushima, and Tochigi, is a place where visitors can appreciate the abundance of nature in spring, summer, fall, and winter. Both public transportation and private cars are available. If you are coming from Gunma Prefecture, park your car at the Togura parking lot and transfer to a microbus for the Hatomachi Pass. From Hatomachi Pass, you can walk to Ozegahara and Ozenuma Swamp. The course is easy to walk even for beginners, but it is a reasonable distance, so trekkers should pay attention to their own physical fitness and the changeable weather conditions. As the lyrics of the song, "When summer comes, I remember faraway Oze, faraway sky," suggest, you can enjoy the beauty and abundance of nature while looking at the sky that continues far away, and Hiuchidake seen from Ozegahara dotted with ponds is very impressive. If you are lucky, you can see marten and other animals, but be sure to bring a bear bell and be careful not to encounter a black bear. Thanks to those who have maintained wooden footpaths and...

Oze national park is as beautiful as the pictures you find online. But remember, it is a very large national park and it is difficult to cover the whole park. Also you are not allowed to use your personal transport after oze tokura station. We talked with one of the local drivers and asked him to wait for us until we returned. We exchanged phone numbers and contacted him. He waited for us until 5:30 (the last listed...
