- Gunma prefecture, Tochigi prefecture, Fukushima prefecture, Niigata prefecture
- This is the largest high wetland in Honshu also known as the motif of a nationally beloved song, Natsu-no Omoide (“Summer Memories”). It is the 29th national park in Japan and includes Ozegahara. It is home to animals and plants unique to wetlands such as mizubasho (lysichiton americanum or asian skunk cabbage), iris setosa (arctic iris) and ermine as well as alpine plants such as day lilies and gentiana thunbergii. As the whole park area is formed by mountains such as Mt. Kasagatake, Mt. Shibutsu and Mt. Hiuchigatake, climbing equipment and clothes suitable to the season are indispensable. There are three campgrounds in the area and two visitor centers, and it is a base for walking and climbing.

- A wetlands area located on a highland over 1,000 meters above sea level in Kitashiobara Village, Yama County, Fukushima Prefecture. The area is famous for its community of Nikko day lilies, which come into bloom each year from late June to early July. This lily species has been designated a National Natural Monument and many people come here to view the blossoms. During the blooming season, traffic by private vehicles is restricted for environmental conservation reasons, and visitors must take a shuttle bus which runs during this time.

- Oe Marsh

- Fukushima Minamiaizu-gun Hinoematamura
- This marshland on the eastern bank of Lake Ozenuma is known for its large colony of nikkokisuge (Hemerocallis esculenta) that bloom in the summer. The density of the colony is the highest in Oze. In good years, the nikkokisuge looks like a yellow carpet that covers the entire marshland. The nikkokisuge and many other flowers bloom around one to two weeks later than those in Ozegahara Marsh due to the higher altitude.

- Fukushima Minamiaizu-gun Hinoematamura
- This marshland is located roughly between the Oike Trailhead and the summit of Mt. Hiuchigatake. The marshland is carpeted in kinkoka (Narthecium asiaticum) flowers at the end of July. In the fall, the marshland's grasses become a mosaic of reds and yellows. The Hirosawa Tashiro marshland, which is located below the Kumasawa Tashiro marshland, is a popular destination for fall hiking. There, hikers can enjoy the fall foliage of plants including azaleas and hirohatsuri-bana (Euonymus macropterus).
