Nasu Highlands

Nasu Highlands, spreading at an elevation of about 800 meters, is known as a resort destination for being home to an Imperial villa. Trekking on Nasu Peak (Chausugatake) and visiting the hot springs in the Nasu Hot Spring Area are popular activities. Facilities for interacting with animals are abundant, such as Minamioka Ranch and Nasu Animal Kingdom. There are also many cultural facilities, including Art Biotope Nasu and Nasu Stained Glass Museum. In the clear air characteristic of the highlands, stylish cafes and restaurants are scattered throughout. Summer is perfect for a cool retreat, autumn for fall foliage, and winter for skiing—you can enjoy the area throughout all four seasons.
