    The entrances to the Hatomachi-toge Pass, Oshimizu and Fujimishita hiking trails are located around 90 minutes' drive from the Numata Interchange of the Kan-Etsu Expressway, via National Route 120 and National Route 401 to Tokura. Oze Marsh (Ozegahara) is the largest alpine wetland area on Honshu, extending two kilometers north to south and six kilometers east to west, at an altitude of 1,400 meters, within Oze National Park, which straddles Gunma Prefecture, Niigata Prefecture and Fukushima Prefecture. Ozegahara, which is ringed by mountains (including Mt. Shibutsu, Mt. Hiuchigatake, and Mt. Keizuru), is a treasure-house of alpine wetland plants, including Asian Skunk Cabbage, Cottongrass, and Day Lily.

    "This quiet marshland can be reached by hiking up the mountain either from the crossroads in the middle of Oe Marsh or from the trail in the back of Ozenuma Camping Site. You are very unlikely to see anyone else while you enjoy the wonderful view offered by this lovely place. The spacious ""private"" marshland is a place where you can refresh mind and body. Make sure to wear a bear-avoiding bell as there are no people in the area."

Gunma Areas

Gunma prefecture is synonymous with onsen. Natural hot spring water sources throughout the prefecture have given rise to a series of small onsen towns, each set among luscious mountains. At Kusatsu, Ikaho, and Minakami, traditional indoor and outdoor bathing experiences are served hand in hand with irresistible onsen-themed food, including steam-cooked eggs and custard pudding.
