Senjogahara is said to derive its name from a myth that this area was a “battlefield” where the gods of Mount Nantai and Mount Akagi fought over Lake Chuzenji. The area was once a lake, which was converted into a marshland, and boasts a vast area of 400 hectares. A nature trail encircling the marshland is a hiking course that can be completed in about two hours. Senjogahara is home to 350 species of plants and is famous for its many species of wild birds. Observation points overlooking the vast marshland with Mt. Nantai in the background are set up at various locations, allowing visitors to experience the varied and magnificent nature of the area. The best times to visit are from mid-June to early August when cotton grass is at its best, and from late September to early October when the autumn leaves of the grasses are at their most beautiful.
