Nasu

Nasu straddles the transition between the Nasu Mountains and the northern Kanto Plain in Tochigi Prefecture, a position that has shaped it into a hot-spring and highland-resort area. The Nasu volcanic range includes Mount Chausudake, the region’s best-known active volcano, while the Nasu Onsenkyo cluster of springs is central to local travel culture. The Nasu Imperial Villa, used as a retreat by Japan’s imperial family, reflects the area’s role as a summer escape. Near the hot springs, Sessho-seki is a volcanic rock associated with the Tamamo-no-Mae legend.
