Overview
Numappara Marshland is a subalpine marshland at 1,230 m above sea level, 250 m from east to west, 500 m from north to south, and is between Hinode Daira Mountain （1,786 m) of Nasu mountain range, Mt. Shirasasayama （1,719 m） at the south end and Nishibotchi Deck （1,410 m）on the west side of Mt. Shirasasayama. A water reservoir was completed at the south end of the marshland in 1974. Now it is possible to go there by motorcoach.
