Located 800 meters above sea level on the slopes of Mt. Hiranwa, which straddles Kuzumaki Town and Kuji City, the vast Hiranwa Kogen is a scenic area designated as a prefectural natural park. It is a plateau where you can enjoy nature to the fullest all year round, starting with wetland plants such as the messenger of spring, the Japanese katakuri, to the dazzling green white birch forest in early summer, azaleas blooming all over the plateau, autumn leaves, and skiing in winter.
