A vast national park known best as a hiking destination for nature walks
Oze National Park is a mountainous region encompassing natural wonders that include one of Japan’s largest highland marshes. It is home to diverse flora and rare wildlife such as the Japanese stoat and the country’s smallest dragonfly.
You can trek some of the region’s tallest peaks here, stroll on wooden boardwalks through flowering meadows and see a towering waterfall. The park draws legions of hikers during the summer and fall (from June to October), but is covered in deep snow from winter to spring (from November to April). The snow only begins to thaw around May, and the area feels distinctly wintery.
In spring and summer, many people visit Oze to enjoy its rich natural environment. It is the ideal place to reflect on the relationship between nature and mankind.
