Onioshidashi Park is a stunning geological park located in the Kanto region of Japan, near the base of Mount Asama in Gunma Prefecture. The park is famous for its dramatic volcanic landscape, which was formed by a series of eruptions from Mount Asama. The name "Onioshidashi" translates to "pushed out by a demon," which refers to the large, rugged volcanic rocks that are scattered throughout the park, creating an eerie and fascinating environment.
The park is a popular tourist destination, offering visitors the opportunity to explore vast fields of lava, unique rock formations, and panoramic views of Mount Asama. The landscape is both otherworldly and scenic, with paths leading visitors through the volcanic terrain, where they can experience the raw power of nature. The rocks, which have been shaped by centuries of volcanic activity, create a striking contrast against the green of the surrounding forests.
Onioshidashi Park is also home to several shrines and scenic spots, making it a great place for both nature lovers and those interested in Japan’s volcanic history. The park is a reminder of the powerful forces of nature that continue to shape the landscape of Japan, offering a unique and memorable experience for all who visit.

The Imperial Household Agency Shin-Hama Duck Hunting Grounds (Shin-Hama Kamoba) is a private hunting reserve located in the coastal area of Chiba Prefecture, Japan. It has been used by the Imperial Family for centuries for traditional wild duck hunting during the winter season. The grounds are managed by the Imperial Household Agency and are not open to the public. The area is an important part of Japan’s royal heritage, where duck hunting has been a longstanding custom. The wetlands, rivers, and marshes that make up the hunting grounds provide a rich environment for a variety of wildlife, particularly migratory ducks, making it a prime location for the Imperial hunting tradition. In addition to its historical significance, the Shin-Hama Duck Hunting Grounds also serve as a protected ecological space. Efforts to preserve the natural environment and wildlife in the area are closely maintained. While access to the grounds is highly restricted, it remains an iconic site connected to Japan’s imperial culture and traditions.
