Nasu Karasuyama Washi Village

烏山和紙の里

Tochigi · Kanto

Karasuyama is known for handmade washi paper, riverside scenery, and understated craft culture. The town feels quiet and traditional without tourist polish.

Why we picked it

The Nasu name draws people north to resorts, while Karasuyama remains overlooked.
