Goshiki-numa Lake Group

The Goshiki-numa Lakes and Marshes are a collective term for the marshes formed when a landslide caused by a steam eruption of Mount Bandai in 1888 blocked the Nagase River with a rockslide. The river, which lost its way due to the landslide, became a marsh, and a large number of lakes and marshes were created. Each marsh has a different water quality due to environmental changes such as chemical changes and plant propagation. The rough land after the steam explosion was rebuilt and is now a representative tourist spot in Fukushima Prefecture.

There are four parking lots around Goshikinuma, all of which are free to use. The recommended parking lots are the "Urabandai Visitor Center Parking Lot" and the "Goshikinuma Parking Lot," both of which are close to "Bishamonnuma," where you can enjoy boating. The Urabandai Visitor Center has about 70 parking spaces and is close to the exploration route, so many hikers park here. On the other hand, the Goshikinuma Parking Lot can accommodate about 100 cars and is located right in front of Bishamonnuma, making it a good choice for those who want to enjoy the view of the pond.
