Senjogahara Moor

戦場ヶ原

Tochigi · Kanto

Senjogahara is a high marsh plateau in Nikko National Park crossed by a raised wooden boardwalk, with the usual through-walk taking about two and a half hours. It is free and never closes, but there is no rail access: the Tobu bus on the Yumoto Onsen line takes about 65 minutes from Tobu-Nikko or JR Nikko Station to the Sanbonmatsu trailhead, so the bus timetable rather than the trail sets the shape of the day.

Why we picked it

Many mainstream travelers focus on the more famous attractions in Nikko, overlooking this serene and picturesque moor.
