Access and Getting Around
The trails from Gunma Prefecture, Niigata Prefecture and Fukushima Prefecture are available, the generally used route is the one from e Katashina village of Gunma or from Hinoemata Village of Fukushima. The way of getting to the entrance of Oze-numa Marsh is different from to the entrance of Ozegahara. Because both trails are long, the hiking course traversing Oze is necessary for the tourist to stay at least a night. Though a night bus tour or a train tour is available, it is better to avoid making an impossible plan. It is not difficult to look for a lodging facility as there are mountains huts here and there, a reservation for an attractive spot only is necessary. Take a train from Tokyo and then transfer to a bus. Direct bus services are also available. Public transport is closed from November to April. There are regulations to the vehicles, so park your car on the way and take a shuttle bus.
