If you pass through the “Sotetsu no Nasu” villa area and drive up into the mountains toward the Volcano Highway toll gate,
you can reach the area just before the hillside where the Yahata azaleas grow in clusters.

Using this route, you could once see the azaleas without entering the toll section of the Volcano Highway.
However, the highway became toll-free on October 30, 2009, so going directly from Nasu Yumoto is now just as easy.
It is nice that you can visit anytime now, and the toll gate has been removed.
