Created by the catastrophic 1783 eruption of Mount Asama, Onioshidashi Park showcases a surreal expanse of massive, jet-black volcanic rock formations resembling an alien terrain. Winding walking paths guide visitors through the rugged stone labyrinth, complete with scenic viewpoints and a picturesque temple dedicated to Kannon. The stark, dramatic rocks contrast beautifully with the surrounding alpine greenery and seasonal blooms. It offers an unforgettable nature excursion that is easily combined with a visit to the Karuizawa area.
