Location

JA1YPA is located at top of the hill in western edge of Yamizo Mountains in Nasu-gun, Tochigi Prefecture, some 130km north of Tokyo.  In the direction to EU, there flows Naka River, and the Nasu Mountains can be viewed afar.

The climate is rather mild than that of famous resort, Nasu. Though it gets as hot as in flat lands around, it snows rarely, and the contest activities as well as antenna work will not be interrupted in winter time.

Transportation The only public transportation available is bus from JR Nishinasuno Station, or Nasu-Shiobara Station. In case you take Shinkansen (Bullet Train), the closest station is Nasu-Shiobara. The bus service is rather limited though, and only three or four services a day are available. If you drive, take Route 294 or exit at Nasu-Shiobara in case you take Tohoku Express Way.
