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 Site Kasuga Taisha / Kasuga Wakamiya On-Matsuri
The Kasuga Wakamiya On-Matsuri is held at Wakamiya Shrine, an auxiliary shrine of Kasuga Taisha. This grand festival has long been celebrated to pray for abundant harvests and peace and well-being for all. Today, its rituals begin in July, with the main ceremonies taking place from December 15 to 18.
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.
