[This way to Oze! Vol.70: The Four Seasons of Oze]

Oze is the largest high-altitude marshland on the main island of Honshu, located at an elevation of around 1,400 meters. Because cold air tends to accumulate, spring arrives late, summers are short, and autumn arrives early and deepens quickly. Another characteristic is that seasonal changes are often signaled more by changes in plant life than by temperature. In addition to conveying the sense of the four seasons, we would also like to provide guidance on appropriate clothing, keeping in mind the mountain climate.

In Oze, spring extends from early May through June. Temperatures can drop to as low as -5°C in the mornings and evenings, so it is advisable to wear long-sleeved wool clothing, as well as lightweight down jackets, and windproof and waterproof outerwear and pants. This is also the season when snowmelt becomes active, boardwalks are often wet from melting snow, and strong winds are common. Even when it feels like spring in urban areas, we recommend being well prepared for the cold in Oze, as it is still winter there. At Katashina Village, the gateway to Oze, the Hariyama Tennozakura (cherry tree)—designated as a Natural Monument of Gunma Prefecture—blooms in full glory. So renowned is this cherry tree that photographers from across Japan gather to capture its beauty. This year, due to light snowfall and higher temperatures around March, it reached full bloom earlier than usual on April 19. Typically, however, the best viewing period is from late April to early May. During the illumination held from sunset until 9:00 p.m. near peak bloom, the blossoms reveal a different, enchanting appearance from that seen during the day, delighting visitors.

From July to mid-August, Oze enters summer, the peak season for alpine plants. Daytime temperatures range from about 15°C to 25°C, while mornings and evenings can drop to around 10°C. This is also a time when thunderstorms are likely to occur in the afternoons. For clothing, it is recommended to wear lightweight long-sleeved shirts, long pants, light fleeces, and hats. Don’t forget protection against UV rays and insects as well. During this season, many rare alpine flowers bloom, including daylilies (Nikkōkisuge), Kinkōka, and, on Mt. Shibutsu—one of Japan’s 100 famous mountains—plants such as Ozesō and Hosoba Hina-usuyukisō, a relative of edelweiss. Depending on the progress of the snowmelt, hiking is expected to be possible from June 20 this year.

From late August to mid-October, Oze enters autumn. While intense heat may still persist in urban areas, temperatures in Oze drop to around 0–5°C in the mornings and evenings, and frost is not uncommon. During this season, it is reassuring to have warm clothing such as long sleeves and fleeces. As temperatures begin to fall, the marshlands transform into a golden landscape of kusamomiji (autumn foliage of grasses), resembling a sea of ripened rice fields.

From November to early April, Oze is in winter, and general tourism is not possible. Oze is also known as a region of heavy snowfall and becomes a full-fledged snow-covered mountain area during this time.

Oze is like a walking museum of nature. It is a place full of charm for those who love mountains, nature, flowers, or simply wish to refresh themselves. With convenient access from urban areas, why not take the opportunity to visit Oze?

TEPCO is jointly advancing, together with the NTT Group and other partners, one of the largest large-scale mixed-use redevelopment projects in central Tokyo, with a total floor area of approximately 1.1 million square meters. The official name of this project, the Hibiya Redevelopment Project, has now been decided as “HIBIYA CROSSPARK.”

The name “CROSS” expresses the concept of an intersection where many different people, ideas, and circumstances intersect to create a synergy that feels fresh and welcoming, while “PARK” conveys the idea of a place allowing you to feel comfortable and be your natural self.

The Hibiya–Uchisaiwaicho area is located at the intersection of key business, commercial, and administrative districts, and hosts important infrastructure facilities—such as electric power and telecommunications—that support Tokyo’s core functions. As part of the project, these facilities will be installed with new capabilities and updated with cutting-edge technology including information and communication technologies to make them carbon neutral and more resistant to natural disasters.

More information about the project is available on the official HIBIYA CROSSPARK website: https://hibiya-crosspark.jp/en/

[FY2025 Financial Results]
On April 30, 2026, President Kobayakawa provided an explanation of the FY2025 financial results at a press conference.
In these results, we were able to secure ordinary profit exceeding our performance forecast; however, net income recorded a loss for the first time in three years, and our financial condition remains severe.
To fulfill our responsibility to Fukushima and our obligation to ensure stable power supply, we will continue to work as one team to advance reforms in both our Fukushima business and our economic businesses.

[This way to Oze! Vol.69: Start of the Spring Mountain Season on Mount Shibutsu]

Starting April 17, 2026, the gates on the Gunma Prefectural Route 63 Minakami–Katashina Line (from Tsunagi Bridge to the Tokura Ski Resort entrance), the Prefectural Road Oze-ga-hara–Tsuchide Line, and the Prefectural Route 260 (from Tsunagi Bridge to Hatomachi Pass) were opened, marking the start of the spring mountain season for Oze Marshland and Mount Shibutsu.

As in previous years, this season will run until May 6. From May 6 onward, entry into the area will be temporarily prohibited to protect alpine plants. After the snow has melted and trail conditions have been confirmed, the gates are scheduled to reopen again in late June.

The usage areas for the Mount Shibutsu spring season and the skiing routes for backcountry skiing on Mount Shibutsu are determined through on-site surveys of remaining snow and ongoing discussions conducted by the Mount Shibutsu Conservation Committee, the Gunma Prefectural Oze Conservation Promotion Office, the Oze Preservation Foundation, the Katashina Village Community Development and Tourism Division, the Katashina Mountain Guides Association, the Katashina Mountain Rescue Team, the Gunma Prefectural Police Tanigawa Special Rescue Unit, Tokyo Power Technology, and TEPCO Renewable Power.

This season has significantly less snow than usual, and as a result, restrictions have been placed on backcountry skiing and snowboarding areas on Mount Shibutsu, as well as access restrictions for hikers. Depending on future weather conditions and temperatures, additional skiing restrictions and trail closures for hikers may be implemented during the Golden Week period. Visitors are advised to check the Oze Preservation Foundation’s website (https://oze-fnd.or.jp/archives/197597/ [Japanese only]) for the latest information before visiting.

Please also note the following for this season:
👉 Exercise extreme caution on the skiing routes just below the summit of Mount Shibutsu and toward Warusawa, as cracks and crevasses have formed on the snow surface.
👉 All snow bridges in the lower Karasawa area have collapsed, and increased water flow due to snowmelt makes crossing on foot extremely dangerous. Do not descend into Karasawa under any circumstances.
👉 The forest zone between Hatomachi Pass and Ayame-daira can be difficult to navigate when snow cover is heavy, as it is easy to get lost. Be sure to carefully confirm your hiking route.

To help protect Oze’s natural environment, please follow the rules and enjoy your visit responsibly!
