- Urabandai Highland
- Travel / Tourism
- Kitashiobara Village, Yama-gun, Fukushima Prefecture
- "Urabandai Highland is a highland area to the north of Mt. Bandai, located around 25 minutes' drive from Inawashiro Bandai Kogen Interchange on the Ban-Etsu Expressway. Viewed from the south, Mt. Bandai has a very neat, mountain-like appearance, but the north side has a rough, irregular shape due to sectoral collapse, hence the name ""Urabandai"" (meaning ""Back of Mt. Bandai""). Urabandai is famous for the Goshikinuma lakes and ponds; there are many lakes and ponds, with water that takes a wide range of different colors, including emerald green and cobalt blue. Urabandai is a great place to visit in spring (for the new greenery) and autumn (for the autumn foliage), but it is also well worth seeing in winter, when visitors can enjoy snowshoe-trekking. Special guided tours, available only in winter, take visitors to see Goshikinuma ponds when they are at their most magical and mysterious."

- This highland is found at the northeast end of Nikko National Park. Surrounded by virgin forest of Japanese beech and Mongolian oak, it hosts the famous Kashi Hot Spring, and sprawling farms like on the plains of Hokkaido. The area along the Abukuma River is outfitted with walking trails, allowing you to stroll along the highland surrounded by the singing of the waters. The virgin forest is found at around 850 meters above sea level, and it has about 3,000 meters of training courses that are used by students and professionals for highland training.
