I visited in late April. Even during the day, it was 0°C at the highest point. There was still snow on the roadside, and lots of butterbur flowers were blooming. I was able to climb Mt. Azuma-Kofuji and enjoy some amazing views. It's still pretty cold this time of year, so driving is definitely the way to go!

Senjogahara Marshland
Located within Nikko National Park, Senjogahara Marshland is an expansive 400-hectare wetland. It was once a lake, but volcanic sediment gradually accumulated, allowing aquatic plants to take root, eventually forming a marshland under the region’s cool climate. The name "Senjogahara" (meaning "Battlefield Marsh") comes from a legend in which the deities of Mount Akagi and Mount Nantai transformed into a giant centipede and a great serpent, respectively, and fought over control of Lake Chuzenji.
After climbing Irohazaka, I finally made it here!
The air is so fresh and clear at this high altitude. It feels amazing. There were a lot of elementary school kids on a field trip that day, so it was pretty lively. -
