PLANNING NOTES
How to shape Nasu
01
Use Nasu historic core as the orientation base, then group Nasu historic anchor and Nasu market and food route before crossing to the other side of Nasu.
02
Give Nasu waterfront or civic edge its own slower block; the local rhythm there is more useful than adding another distant headline stop.
03
Plan Nasu regional landscape as a deliberate extension from Nasu regional base, checking return timing before committing the day.
