Oku-Nikko Wetlands
The Senjogahara and Odashirogahara wetlands, Lake Yunoko, and the Yugawa River, provide habitats for a wide variety of plant species, as well as aquatic and migratory birds. These areas are registered on the Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance. The best way to appreciate and experience this pristine natural environment firsthand is through bird-watching, hiking, or on guided tours. There are wooden walkways across the Senjogahara and Odashirogahara wetlands which provide access deep into Oku-Nikko.
