[2025 Tsumagoi Attraction] Travel Guide for Onioshidashi Volcanic Park in Joshin'etsukogen National Park (Updated Jul)

"Onoshide-no-en" sounds like a rather scary tourist spot. It is located in Gunma Prefecture, Japan. The name comes from the volcanic magma that erupted from "Mt. Asama" in 1783, which solidified and formed a large amount of lava rocks with strange shapes. Strolling along the way to see the amazing rocks and the vast scenery is another unique travel experience! #uniqueexperience #Gunma #Onoshide-no-en

On a Golden Week touring trip, I visited "Onioshidashi Park" 👹🏍️ Located at the foot of Mt. Asama, one of Japan's most famous active volcanoes, located on the border between Nagano and Gunma prefectures, this place is counted among the "Three Great Scenic Spots in the World." It was a breathtaking sight that left me speechless, as I felt like I had wandered into another world 😳✨ The overwhelming scenery created by the strange rocks formed when the lava that flowed from the great eruption of Mt. Asama cooled and solidified in 1783... The entrance gate was like the gate to hell...🔥 In the center of the strange rocks stands the "Mt. Asama Kannon Hall," which combined with Mt. Asama in the background created a magnificent view 📸 Going further in, you can see the "Flame Kannon" wrapped in crimson flames, which is a sobering sight! The distinctive name Onioshidashi Park is said to have been derived from the legend that demons live on Mount Asama since ancient times, and it was named so because when Mount Asama erupted, it looked like a demon was pushing out a rock. 🌋 The weather was good on the day, and we were able to fully experience the great nature of Mount Asama Northern Foothills Geopark 👍 The scenery changes with the seasons, making this a must-see spot! *You can see various interesting rocks such as Gorilla Rock and alpine plants unique to high altitudes such as luminous moss 👀✨ ------------------------------------------------- [Access🚌🚗] 🚌: 30 minutes by bus from Manza-Kawazawaguchi Station 🚗: 45 minutes by car from Usui-Karuizawa I.C. on the Joshinetsu Expressway (via Nakakaruizawa) [Business hours🕰️] Open: 8:00-17:00 (last entry: 16:30) *Business hours change depending on the season [Price💰] Adults: 700 yen Children: 500 yen *Parking is free ------------------------------------------------- #Breathtaking views #Touring #Touring trip #Gunma Prefecture #Gunma trip #Mt.

Onioshidashi Park is a magnificent lava belt formed by the great eruption of Mt. Asama in 1783. It is counted as one of the three most scenic spots in the world, and covers an area of ​​approximately 6.8 square kilometers. There are many things to see in the park, such as the central plateau lined with huge rocks taller than a person and seasonal alpine plants! The standard course from the main approach to the Kannon Hall and around the back approach is about a 30-minute walk. It is about a 45-minute drive from the Usui-Karuizawa IC on the Joshinetsu Expressway, or about a 25-minute bus ride from Manza-Kawazawaguchi Station on the Agatsuma Line.

#Overseas Travel The original meaning of Karuizawa Onioshide-en is "a place built by demons". In fact, it is the lava from the eruption of the nearby Asama volcano that solidified into strange black rocks on the ground. When you come here, you can experience the whole mountain covered with black rocks, but it is less spectacular than the park at the foot of Sakurajima volcano. #Overseas Travel
