What other travelers are saying about Senjogahara Marshland
Favourite place in Nikko by far. Very quiet and beautiful surroundings. Be aware of the bears though, especially if hiking on your own! They are definitely out there, I’ve seen fresh poop multiple times
good hike! you can choose the course but you should think of minimum 2 hours to enjoy the scene. The road is rather flat so there is no need to get too many equipments but still it is better to bring some water and snacks. Decent experience
This is probably one of the best walk I’ve ever had. Most of the walk is wooden boards so it makes the trail easier. View is awesome specially in autumn. I suggest to avoid weekends and public holidays.
I had a wonderful time hiking in Senjogahara, a beautiful marshland in Nikko National Park. The trails were well-maintained and easy to follow, and the scenery was stunning. I saw many kinds of plants and birds, and enjoyed the views of the mountains,falls and the river. The hike was not too strenuous, and I could finish it in about three hours. There were also some rest houses and toilets along the way. The best part was that I could access the trails by public transportation, taking a bus from Tobu Nikko Station to Yumoto Onsen( bus station number 44 or 46). I highly recommend this hike to anyone who loves nature and wants to experience a different side of Nikko.
The hike to this point is easy. There are wooden floor stalled along the way most of the trail.
Hiking from one fall to another is mostly flat. Lots of school kids and elders. Novice hikers can do it.
