Standing up high and looking out over all of Nasu Highland, it really looks like a giant green carpet spread out below you.

World Heritage Kasuga Taisha Shrine / Kasuga Wakamiya Onmatsuri Festival
The "Kasuga Wakamiya Onmatsuri" is held at Wakamiya, a subordinate Kasuga Taisha Shrine. It's a grand festival praying for a bountiful harvest and the peace and comfort of all people. Nowadays, the rituals begin in July, with the main events taking place from December 15th to 18th.
There are lots of food stalls around the shrine selling festival-only treats. Watching the festivities while snacking is just so much fun.

Ouchi-juku
More than 30 thatched-roof homes stand in Ouchi-juku, where the townscape still reflects the Edo-Period. It used to prosper as a post station along the former Aizu West Highway 400 years ago.
It really feels like you've traveled back in time to the Edo period—like being a time traveler!

Oirase Stream
Oirase Stream, a renowned tourist attraction awarded two stars in the Michelin Green Guide, stretches approximately 14 kilometers from the shores of Lake Towada at Nenokuchi to Yakeyama. It's a national Special Place of Scenic Beauty and Natural Monument, celebrated for its waterfalls, clear streams, giant rocks, and steep cliffs.
The untouched natural scenery here is incredible—every tree and blade of grass is preserved. Visiting during the late October autumn leaves season is truly breathtaking. The mountains are covered in vibrant colors, and it's just stunning.
