Adventure Tourism Activity: A Full-Body Outdoor Experience in Oze and Nikko Shirane

Enjoy this unique and premium skyrunning experience while taking in nature in a national park.

① Oze National Park: A special plan to run along the old Fujimi Route in the Oze National Park Mountain Marathon to run to Ayame-daira, a paradise in the sky and a Special Protection District.
・This event utilizes the Fujimi Route, which was once the main trail to Oze but has since fallen into disuse. The route leads to Ayame-daira, a place that was the starting point for Japan’s realization of the effects of tourism pollution and the birthplace of nature conservation efforts. The marshlands here have been restored through the long-term efforts of conservationists.
・A special food booth will be set up at the Fujimi Pass aid station, where participants can enjoy food using local ingredients like highland vegetables while taking in panoramic views of the mountains of Gunma from this Special Protection District. This provides an opportunity to experience local food in conjunction with the market.
② Nikko National Park: A special plan for the Marunuma Kogen Nikko Shirane Ascent to run through Mount Shirane, once a sacred site for religious mountain climbing and known for its unique volcanic terrain and rare flora such as the Shirane-aoi flower.
・This running event concludes near the summit of Mount Nikko Shirane, located in a Special Protection District within Nikko National Park.
・A food booth featuring local highland vegetables and other regional specialties will be set up alongside the aid station at the plaza near the summit of the Shirane Ropeway Station, at an altitude of 2,000 meters.
③ A market event organized by local residents will be held where visitors can experience local food, such as highland vegetables, and traditions. This will create opportunities for interaction between inbound tourists and the local community.
