Oze

Oze is one of the world's greatest high-altitude marshes. You can enjoy the beautiful nature throughout the four seasons.
The full-scale Oze season begins in late May when the symbol of Oze, "Mizobasho" (the skunk cabbage), begins to bloom.
The mountains also begin to turn green, and alpine plants such as marsh marigolds and mizobasho bloom beautifully one after another.
In July, the day lilies bloom all over vast Oze Plain, signaling the arrival of summer. Many lovely flowers bloom, and you can see small birds and insects.
Autumn comes early to Oze, with the leaves starting to change color in late September. The rowan and other plants change color all at once, allowing you to see beautiful autumn leaves.
