A view of Mount Myoseiyama, which is lined with rock formations in front of you. One of Japan's leading station benches, "Toge no Kamameshi" and "Usui Pass no Riki mochi" are specialty. At the Memorial Corner, where some of the real train cars were installed, the Shinetsu Main Line Yokogawa Station at the time of the "Toge no Kamameshi" sales was recreated. You can enjoy a meal at the rest corner that mimics the guest room. In addition to the "Oginoya" stand, which is famous for "Toge no Kamameshi", there are also menus where you can taste "Toge no Kamameshi" in restaurants and food courts.

At the western end of Osegahara, the Yamanohana to Cushneck is a long moor to the east and west, sandwiched between the Suisui Forest of the Nekomata River in the north and the mountain hem approaching the south side. It is one of the most watery places in Osegahara, and is dotted with small but deep water. Many floating islands are also found. The moor plants include water-loving green moss, and the hitsugita and the black-wobober that grow in the pond. In the area along the upstream forest of the Kawakami River, there is also a community of water clusters.
