Discover the Goshikinuma Lakes, which are located on the north side of Mount Bandai. Created over century ago in a volcanic eruption, these “Five Colored Lakes” are one of Japan’s true natural wonders. Start at Bishamonnuma, the largest lake, and wind your way along this easy walking path under a canopy of dense green forest. Catch glimpses as you go of cobalt blue, brilliant turquoise and emerald green waters through the trees. Watch your steps - the road is slightly rocky and the colors of this volcanic wonderland are impossible to take your eyes off.
