Nasu Volcano & Highland — Cycling and Hiking — 2 Days

20–30 km cycle through Nasu Highlands with gourmet stops, followed by hiking around the active volcano Mt. Chausu

This two-day tour combines cycling and hiking in the Nasu mountain range, a volcanic complex in northeastern Nikko National Park. The route follows quiet countryside roads through the Nasu Highlands, a region that developed as a royal resort when the Emperor built a summer residence here around a century ago. This heritage has established the area as a center for regional food production—Wagyu beef, soba, freshwater fish, craft beer, and local cheeses mark the cycling stages. The hiking portion visits Mt. Chausu, the range's active main peak, where daily volcanic emissions create a landscape distinct from the surrounding forests. Autumn color peaks in October. Accommodation includes an onsen ryokan (hot-spring inn), and a guide cyclist and support van accompany the group throughout.
