Mt. Chausu, located at the north end of Tochigi, is an active volcano and the main peak of the Nasu mountains. It stands 1,915 metres above sea level. Take the ropeway to the 9th station for a spectacular view of fields of flowers and autumn leaves. If you are a big fan of trekking, try the routes from the top ropeway station to the crater of Mt. Chausu. A wide range of walking trails are available suitable for beginners and families. The panoramic view of the Kanto Plain below from the top of Mt. Chausu is beyond your imagination.
