    Tochigi Yaita-shi Shimoisano
    This plateau, which is a part of Nikko National Park, is located about a 15-minute drive from Yaita Interchange on the Tohoku Expressway. It is famous for its Japanese azalea. Starting in mid-June the entire area is dyed vermilion by about 200,000 of these flowers. From the observation deck, visitors can see Nikko City, the Nasu Mountain Range, and as far as the Kanto Plain. A promenade has been built in the area, making it popular with trekkers and hikers. Visitors can enjoy observing the starry night sky in the summer and viewing the fall foliage in the autumn. During the azalea season shuttle buses that operates between the plateau and JR Yaita Station are available.

Most visits to Tochigi revolve around Nikko, a small city home to the spectacular, lavishly decorated Toshogu Shrine and Nikko National Park with its mountains, lakes, waterfalls, onsen, and wild monkeys. Neighboring Oku-Nikko is an extension of the fantastic scenery famous for its autumn leaves, while Tochigi’s capital, Utsunomiya, is the only place in the world where you can find oya stone beautifully exhibited in temples and the Oya History Museum.
