The lake of Sugenuma at the trailhead of Mt. Nikko Shirane is the most transparent in Kanto.
You can enjoy various activities such as skiing in winter, mountain climbing, trekking, camping, canoeing, SUP, and summer skiing in other seasons.
【surprised to visit Katashina！】
Katashinamura is blessed with spring water and the water is delicious.
ll tap water in Katashina uses spring water as raw water, so the water is cold and delicious even in summer.
There are hot springs in the village, and there are many hot spring inns, and there are also day-trip hot spring facilities where you can casually enter. The spring quality is different depending on the place, and you can enjoy various hot springs. I am happy that there is a hot spring nearby.
(↑足湯(Ashi-yu). “Ashi” means foot and “yu” means hot spring.)
Agriculture is flourishing, and tomatoes, corn, radishes, flower beans, apples, etc. are produced by taking advantage of the highland climate.
Tomatoes are juicy and corn is very sweet and delicious.
I knew that highland vegetables are abundant, but hydrangeas such as Anabel and Minazuki are also cultivated. The climate of the highlands seems to be suitable for cultivation, and large and beautiful hydrangea blooms!
Please come to Katashina village!
