Oze National Park

Overview

The Fukushima Prefecture side of Oze National Park offers a different kind of majestic mountain scenery and abundant nature compared to the Gunma Prefecture side. Mount Hiuchigatake, the highest peak north of the Tohoku region, captivates climbers with its rugged silhouette and breathtaking views. From the 2,356m summit, a 360-degree panorama unfolds, offering a sweeping vista of Ozegahara Marsh and the surrounding mountains. While the trails can feature challenging rock faces and steep slopes, the sense of accomplishment is unparalleled. Meanwhile, Aizu-Komagatake, with its vast marshland at the 2,133m summit, is truly a heavenly paradise. The trails are relatively easy to navigate, making it accessible even for beginners. From the summit, you can see Mount Hiuchigatake, Ozegahara Marsh, and even the Nikko mountain range in the distance. Mount Tayoriyama, with its expansive marshland at the 1,788m summit, presents a unique landscape. Its trails are relatively gentle, making it perfect for a leisurely hike. From the summit, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Oze mountains, including Mount Hiuchigatake and Aizu-Komagatake. The route from Numayama Pass to Ozegahara Marsh is also relatively low impact, allowing for a pleasant hike through the marshland. Mountain huts with bathing facilities line the shores of Oze Marsh, offering respite for weary trekkers. At night, you can enjoy the serene beauty of the starlit sky. Oze National Park is a true hidden gem of Japan, a harmonious blend of magnificent nature, beautiful marshlands, and history and culture. We invite you to explore the many facets of Oze National Park on foot and experience its unique charm for yourself.
