What other travelers are saying about Senjogahara Marshland
Extremely beautiful place to explore! It makes for a great day trip from Nikko, just take the bus up and back and you’re set. The trails are clearly marked/visible and I saw many monkeys along the way. Great place for bird watching as well as just enjoying the great outdoors. Easy hiking and good vibes make this a great way to spend the day!
Beautiful scenery, highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys nature, even on a cold day we had it was worth it. Good for novice to more advanced hikers as the trails offer many different routes.
Nice place for a good walk. There are few paths to scroll around. Mostly flat. We choose for the way end up on fall. Around 2 km walk one way from starting point. There is no public parking in front of starting point. Public parking is 400m far near the observation deck.
The Senjogahara Marshland hike was among the highlights of our trip. Highly worth it! We took the Yumoto Onsen-bound bus and began our hike at Yudaki Falls. You can also begin your hike at Akanuma as well (the same Yumoto Onsen bus stops here too). There have been sightings of bears, so I highly recommend purchasing a bear bell (you can get it from the shop opposite the Akanuma Bus Stop). I will definitely do this hike again - it was amazing! Entry is free and I recommend heading in around 7am-8am. The hike was around 2 to 3 hours. It is an easy hike.
good hike! you can choose the course but you should think of minimum 2 hours to enjoy the scene. The road is rather flat so there is no need to get too many equipments but still it is better to bring some water and snacks. Decent experience
