explanation: Located in the north of Tochigi prefecture near the frontier with Fukushima prefecture, Nasu highland spreads on a south-east slope of Nasu volacano (1918 m). Hot spring of Nasu has been well known since old times, but it began to develop as a tourist resort when an imperial villa was opened there. Recently this place is attracting media attention because the central government has chosen it as one of the candidates for a new Japanese capital. Its higher part belongs to Nikko national park.
