Shopping
Slide 1 of 8
A very relaxing place for shopping with a wide range of brands having shops at the outlet. The highlight from the Outlet was the long chips - they were freshly made on site and they tasted great!
We visited Nasu Garden Outlet on a Saturday, and it wasn’t crowded, which was great! There was plenty of parking space, and we were able to park just a few steps from the entrance, making it super convenient. While there weren’t too many shop options, it still had all the well-known brands. Overall, it was a pretty decent experience!
This outlet is great for walking with your pet. I particularly think the Nike store is fantastic for anyone looking for good, cheap sneakers. There are many on the shelves compared to other Nike outlets. The photo posted of the La Boheme restaurant is wonderful, sophisticated atmosphere and very good food.
I love this outlet mall. Because it is one level only, it’s quite big. Prepare to walk for long distances. Besides that, lots of brands and products are available at a very reasonable price. Food selection is also good. To get here, the best option is still by car. If you are a visitor coming to this place can be quite tricky.
The atmosphere is relaxed, with many brands and food products to explore.
While this outlet mall is conveniently located near Nasushiobara Station, international travelers might find it somewhat lacking. The selection of luxury brands is very limited, and even popular brands like Nike have a restricted range on offer. However, the mall is extremely pet-friendly. You can dine with your pets on the terraces of restaurants, and they are allowed inside if you carry them. There’s also plenty of space for dogs to run around freely. That said, the quality and variety of the products might be a bit disappointing, especially if you’re used to shopping at outlets abroad. Overall, Nasu seems more suited for enjoying the great outdoors and local cuisine rather than for shopping.
Really big shopping garden with lot of famous branded outlets, you can find clothes, foods, vegetables and some sweets. also can find rare items for gift like blue berry honey. so it's good visit if you have a extra time like 1-2 hours. price is very reasonable for almost everything
I went there on a free shuttle bus from Nasushiobara station. If you want to get there, try to check it on thr website for the schedule. It snowed the day before I came (on 28th Dec) so snowed all the place. This time every brand is on big sales with many famous brands. Got nice stuffs for my holidays. They also have restaurants and convenience stores in case you are lost in the maze of shopping stores. :)

Bridge
Footbridge over a river, 320m in length & a popular proposal spot when leaves are golden in fall.
Slide 1 of 8
We went in Autumn season which the leaves haven’t changed color much yet. The weather is still not too cold. The ticket for walking on bridge is around 300 jpy / person. The view is very beautiful and the weather is nice and the air is clean. Good place to visit not only in Autumn but the other is also nice to visit.
We visited early on the morning of Sunday, November 17th, during the fall foliage season. The news had reported that this weekend was ideal for viewing the leaves, and by the time we were leaving, there was a line of about 50 cars outside the parking lot. The autumn colors were visible around the large suspension bridge. Although this year's foliage season was quite late, it seemed that all the visitors were enjoying themselves.
It was a nice little spot for a quick photo. We didn’t actually cross the bridge, but ended up spending more time at the nearby local shop instead. It was clean, well-organized, and had a great selection of local products.
Require a ticket to walk the bridge. In spring, you can still see the cherry blossoms. The view is stunning as you walk across the bridge.
A less known tourist spot but worth the experience. Neatly nestled in the Shiobara valley and prefectural forest, off season is the best time to visit if you want this place for yourself. Supposedly it is famous for marriage proposals. And its easy to understand why - because if the partner says yes, one would feel like settling down in the valley & if the partner says no, one would feel like living the life of a recluse in the valley.
The time I was there was not the right time to watch the red leaf. Other than the red leaf there is nothing special as the road station. To cross the bridge is not so expensive and certain exercises can be done.
To cross the bridge you have to buy a ticket, around ¥300. Nice place to enjoy the Autumn leaves. Crowed in season. Free parking with several shops around. When the free parking is full, ¥100 parking also available.
A must visit place if you go to Nasu. It’s beautiful during autumn and picturesque..!! The length of the bridge is 320 metres, is the largest pier-less suspension bridge in Japan. Magnificent views of the Shiobara valley can be seen from the bridge. In autumn, the bridge commands enchanting views of the foliage reflected on the lake. Officially listed as a “Sacred Place for Lovers”.

Resting place selling local goods like daikon & milk, plus a bakery & rice fields turned into art.
Slide 1 of 8
It's a road side station. There's a cafe, restaurant, bakery and farmers market. The bakery selection was great. Even if the bakery itself was closed, you can get something in the cafe or farmers market. Very delicious sandwich with mixed corn bread, hard to find in Japan! The restaurant was crowded.
Road station michi nari the place that everyone gonna visit during going somewhere. 1 restaurant there 1 cafe (gelato) 1 bakery and some ice cream restaurant ourside. Lots of people there and really bad driving since everyone wants to park there car. Supermarket there is cheap tho. Especially vegetable!
Nice place to take a break and buy local veggies, fruits and some good fresh (recommended) milk .
Old Edo outlook from outside. Some interesting food shops inside. Nice to stop by for a few pictures and fish shape waffles.
Good place to stop for omiyage. Excellent fruits and vegetables. Some meat products, great natto.
It was closed right now due to its renovation however you can still use loos.
Big parking lot. Clean washrooms. Safe, convenient.

Spacious and comfy michi no eki with local produce and goods. Prices are on the high side but to be expected since they try to sell their best stuff here for visitors coming from other prefectures.
Nice little place with a heritage site you can visit (paid), a cafe/restaurant and a farmers market. You can visit the park, parking and toilet for free.
Very new and clean. Not as many vegetables available as some older places. Everything looks to be good quality.
Update (August 2021): Recently opened up the rice bag we got during our visit two months ago and IT HAD BUGS!!! 😫😫😫 lots of lively black bugs writhing with cocoons on the sides of the bag. This should not happen. It was quite disgusting. Be careful of buying rice here. Former post from June 2021: Good area to get some veggies and plants! Have a bite to eat and take a walk on the former residence of Ambassador Aoki and his family.
I like this place.
(Translated by Google) It's a beautiful building with some shade, and the sunflowers were in full bloom. It's the perfect place to take a break during a drive at this time of year. The store sells fresh vegetables at relatively low prices. The eggplants and bitter melons are large, and the asparagus is also fresh. What surprised me most was the corn. It was incredibly sweet and rich. It seems to be a variety called Sunny Chocolate. I'd go back just for this. (Original) 綺麗な建物で木陰もあり、ひまわりも綺麗に咲いてました。この時期ドライブの休憩に最適です。 店内は、新鮮な野菜が比較的お安く売ってました。 茄子やゴーヤが大きい。アスパラも瑞々しい。 何より驚いたのが、とうもろこし。 めっちゃ甘くて濃厚でした。 サニーショコラって言う品種らしい。 これだけのためでも、また買いに行きたいです。
(Translated by Google) Visited in the evening. Locals have complained about the increased prices since the renovation, but the selection is generally quite good, and I like the fact that prepared foods and bento boxes are half price. The store is clean, and if I have the chance, this is a roadside station I'd like to visit again. I bought bento boxes, eggs, etc. I missed the soft serve ice cream, so I'll save it for next time. (Original) 夕方訪問 地元の方はリニューアル後高くなり、不満の声も有るようですが、中々総合的に品揃えも良く、総菜や弁当が半額になるところも好感を持てます。店舗も綺麗ですし機会が有れば、また立ち寄りたい道の駅です。弁当、卵など購入。気が付かずスルーしたソフトは次回に。
(Translated by Google) Location: Located along the route to Nasu Kogen, this area also sells local agricultural products and goods.

Waterfalls
Picturesque cascade amid trees & rock walls, accessed by a moderate, verdant hiking path.
Slide 1 of 8
Beautiful waterfalls that you touch on the route like in fairy tales. A beautiful forest along a clear stream. You have to climb the stairs mainly at first. There is a second entrance further down the road but it seems dangerous to walk on the road itself, it is better to go up the stairs especially with young children. It took us less than 20 minutes to reach the waterfall
Ryuka Falls is a beautiful waterfall with a very fairytale scenic road to get there. It's especially beautiful during autumn. The total lenght of the route is roughly 700m-1km. It's rather easy hike and accessible for any age. There is also parking available 150-200m from the starting point.
Just a simple 15-20min hike but the sceneries were breathtaking 😌 I spent too much time taking pictures that I missed the bus I was supposed to ride on lol
We came this place for hiking and enjoy the call breeze of the forest during last autumn,and I hope we can have time for any seasons to complete the whole year round and the falls is so nice.
Beautiful spot. Required a short hike to access the main falls but even the most novice of hikers wouldn’t struggle. More of a walk than a hike. Makes for a very relaxing stroll with beautiful scenery to enjoy the whole way along.
Free to enter, free to park. Forest walk through many waterfalls to this one tall waterfall
A most amazing place! Wonderful landscapes, well worth the walk! Was very lucky to be there at the right season, Autumn! Not so easy walk as claimed, but not impossible too! And a free car park at the start! Very popular, and quite busy! Plan to go early....
If you go for the little hike its worth the sights the water fall. The path may be a bit slipy

Anyone who likes to travel in nature Recommend here another place. The entrance is narrow and cars cannot pass each other. But when we arrived The waterfall is very beautiful. Still maintaining nature well We came while it was raining and it was very beautiful.
Natural, scenic, peaceful place: lush greenery, cool mist, relaxing atmosphere. There is a viewing platform (“Kanbakudai”) and from the parking lot some stairs → then further path down to the waterfall basin. Free admission.
This place was amazing! Short walk, suzushi tenki! Family all took our shoes of and dunked our feet in. Wow, late July and the water was sooo cold! Our daughter found a frog, frog attached.
Fantastic place deserved a super 5 star rate! The water fall, stream, greenery is the piece of art by nature. Definitely a pleasant place to visit in spring and summer season. Only 3min’s walk to the waterfall, good to access and less difficult walking.
Free parking and entrance and there’s a lovely cafe near it.
A great little excursion from our hotel (Epinard Nasu). We had it to ourselves, and loved the beautiful sound of the water as well as the rich green surroundings.
Nice place to visit when you travel around Nazu area. Free parking available. There is a staircase to go down and have a close look.
Beautiful and quite a short walk from the parking area, so that's a real plus for me.
