THE EXPERIENCE

Get to know Urabandai from the colors of its lakes.

The Urabandai lakes were formed by the eruption of Mount Bandai. Each swamp has a different blue or green landscape, and the nature trail is your gateway to exploring the area. The conditions for walking in winter are different from those in seasons without snow, so check the trail conditions at the visitor center and choose the equipment and guide you need. You can consider taking a day off from skiing as a way to get to know the local nature.
