Oze National Park (Gunma Prefecture Side)

Spanning Gunma, Fukushima, Niigata, and Tochigi prefectures, Oze National Park is one of Japan’s leading natural parks and home to the largest high moor on Honshu. Follow the boardwalk from Hatomachi Pass, the gateway on the Gunma side, to reach Ozegahara Marsh at an elevation of about 4,600 feet, where expansive views of Mt. Shibutsu and Mt. Hiuchigatake await.

Beautiful! The whole area is surrounded by vast wetlands and mountains. In summer it’s full of lush greenery, and in fall it turns completely golden. It really feels like stepping into a postcard.
Walking along the wooden boardwalk is so pleasant, and the air feels incredibly clean. It’s a bit far and takes some walking to get in, but the peaceful atmosphere and natural beauty are so healing.
Highly recommended for anyone who loves nature or wants to get away from the noise of the city!

This is such an atmospheric live jazz dining spot. Walking in feels like stepping into a classic jazz bar in New York.
The dim lighting and romantic vibe make it perfect for a date or a special celebration.
The food and drinks are solid, but the real highlight is the performance. World-class musicians often play here, and hearing them live is seriously impressive.
It’s on the expensive side, but it feels well worth it for the experience.
