Introduction

Senjogahara is a broad highland marsh in Oku-Nikko between Lake Chuzenji and Lake Yunoko, formed when Mt. Nantai's eruption dammed the land. Boardwalks cross the meadow with views of Nantai and Akagi; alpine plants thrive in summer, and reeds turn snowy in autumn-winter — a signature Kanto wetland hike.
