Nikko National Park

PIXTA

Nikko National Park was established on December 4, 1934, and was one of the first national parks in Japan. The park area covers three prefectures, Fukushima, Tochigi, and Gunma, and has a total area of 114,908 hectares. Most of the park area is mountainous terrain belonging to the Nasu Volcanic Belt, including Mount Shirane (Nikko Shiranezan) (2,578 m above sea level), the highest mountain in the northern Kanto region, Mount Nantai (2,486 m above sea level), famous since ancient times as a mountain of faith, and Mount Chausu (Mt. Nasu) (1,917 m above sea level), which is still active as a volcano. The plateaus at the foot of these mountains are covered with lakes and marshes caused by volcanic activity, magnificent waterfalls, and valleys with beautiful autumn foliage. At the same time, there is a wonderful fusion of natural scenery with numerous historical buildings, including shrines and temples that are registered as World Heritage sites. Nikko National Park is easily accessible from the Tokyo metropolitan area by train or car, and is very popular as a place where visitors can easily become familiar with authentic nature, history, and culture.
