I stayed at Nenn NASUKOUGEN, a new glamping facility that just opened in Nasu Highlands in May 2021! It's a very open space with a panoramic view of the Nasu mountain range, and many glamping tents are lined up. Next to each tent is a cute vintage Volkswagen car with pastel colors that are perfect for social media✨ The inside of the tent is very clean as it is new♬I stayed there on a cold winter day, but the heating was on and it was warm inside the room. Since it is glamping, you have to go to a separate building for the sink and toilet, but this is also clean and comfortable. And above all, the hot spring♨The slightly brown, cloudy water is said to have a skin-beautifying effect❣ This is a recommended glamping facility that can be enjoyed by couples, families, and friends! 📍5461-1 Takaku-ko, Nasu-machi, Nasu-gun, Tochigi Prefecture 325-0304 #breathtakingview #glamping #Nasu #trip2022

#August Good Places 2024 Title: Experience sitting on the Tochigi Nasu Plateau in Japan I recently had the pleasure of visiting Nasu Plateau in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan, and it was an unbelievably beautiful place. In this sharing, I will detail the geographical location, attractions, transportation modes of Nasu Plateau, and my personal feelings. ### That must be a plateau introduction The Nasu Plateau is located in the northern part of Tochigi Prefecture, about 1000 meters above sea level. It boasts a rich natural landscape, including vast grasslands, clear lakes, and spectacular mountains. In spring, you can see cherry blossoms in full bloom, in summer, it’s a great place to escape the heat, in autumn, the mountains are intoxicating with red leaves, and in winter, it becomes a snow-white fairytale world. ### Mode of transportation From Tokyo, you can choose to take the Shinkansen or high-speed bus to Nasu Plateau. If you choose the Shinkansen, you can get to Utsunomiya Station first and transfer to a bus or taxi. If you choose to take the express bus, you can reach Nasu Plateau directly, but you must book your tickets in advance. In addition, self-drive tours are a good option, with very beautiful scenery along the way. ### Nearby Attractions 1. **Nasu Animal Kingdom**: There are all kinds of cute animals that you can get up close and personal with, especially for bringing kids. 2. **Nasu Onsen**: Soaking in hot springs is one of the must experience items when traveling in Japan. 3. **Mount Nasu**: This mountain is a symbol of the Nasu Plateau, and climbing the mountain offers a beautiful view of the entire plateau. ### Personal feelings During my days in the Nasu Plateau, I really felt the beauty of nature. In the early morning, as I walked on the prairie, breathing in the fresh air, the silhouette of the mountains in the distance stood out in the sunlight. At night, the starry sky is bright, which makes people feel refreshed. Overall, Nasu Plateau is a great place to relax and get close to nature. Whether you are here on vacation, hiking or soaking in hot springs, you will be attracted by the beauty here. I highly recommend visiting Nasu Plateau to experience its unique charm.

Nasu Highlands is a great place to relax on your day off. Although it is famous for its beef, the river fish is just as delicious. At Seiryu no Sato, they offer a service where they will grill the river fish you catch yourself. You can also try fishing, and they will grill it for you on the spot. The fish is plump and fatty. Maitake mushroom tempura is also a must-have dish. The crispy batter soaks up the tempura broth with a rich dashi flavor, making it incredibly delicious. #NasuHighlands #SeiryunoSato #Gourmet
