Autumn Colors in Ozegara (Oze Marshland)

            Ozegahara (Oze Marshland) is Japan’s largest high altitude marshland, at a height of 1,400 meters above sea level, in Oze National Park. The marsh is said to have been formed in the Ice Age about 10,000 years ago. It is well known for various species of plants and animals, including white skunk cabbage, yellow alpine lilies and cotton grass. It is also very attractive place during the autumn colors of late September and early October with the grasses of the marshland turning bright yellow and red. Oze National Park was registered under the Ramsar Convention in 2005 and is very popular trekking destination. Oze is located over four prefectures of Gunma, Fukushima, Niigata and Tochigi.
When I was there, it was the peak of autumn colors. Japanese maples were paticularly impressive like this photo (The green leaves were turning red and the contrast of the two colors was interesting).
