Ono, Fukui / 六呂師高原

Rokuroshi Highlands

Highlands with a pastoral landscape and many facilities for outdoor life, such as the "Okuetsu Kogen Bokujo" ranch with grazing dairy cows, the "Tron Onyoku Shisetsu Urarakan" with an open-air bath, the "Milk Kobo Okuechizen" dairy workshop and the "SORA to DAICHI" campsite. In 2005 it was recognised as having "Japan's most beautiful starry sky", and the Minami-Rokuroshi area was certified by DarkSky International as a "Dark Sky Place", Japan's fourth.
