    Located in Nakanojo Town, Agatsuma County, Gunma Prefecture, this park is famous as the birthplace of “chatsubomi-goke” —which is a type of moss that grows in acidic water. The contrast between puffed-up green moss on the rocks with the flowing water makes for a truly gorgeous scene. You can also enjoy some trekking along the pathway to Yoshigadaira Wetlands near the Anajigoku pit.

    尻焼温泉に来たついでに、それほど興味もなく訪れました。 受付で入場料を支払い、見どころとなる場所までは5分おきに運行しているバス(もしくはワゴン車)でピストン輸送してくれます。 もちろん徒歩でも行くことは出来ます。 園内のバスで到着した場所からは、多少坂を登って一番の見どころとなる場所まで歩いて行きますが、足元の悪さをカバーするためのマットが敷かれており、階段などを登るよりも楽に登れるかと思います...
