Goshikinuma Nature Trail

[A Mysterious Color Recognized by the World] The brilliance of three Michelin stars. The 'Goshikinuma Nature Trail' that shakes your five senses.

The 'Goshikinuma Lake Group', born from the eruption of Mount Bandai in 1888, is a place where you can encounter the most mystical scenery in Urabandai. The hiking course 'Goshikinuma Nature Trail', approximately 3.6 km long, is a world-renowned path that has earned the highest three-star rating in the 'Michelin Green Guide Japan' for its beauty. It is almost flat and easy to walk, allowing you to experience the miraculous array of colors in about 1 hour and 10 minutes.

■ The 'Magic of Colors' Woven by Science and Nature

The most niche point of Goshikinuma is the reason why each pond has a completely different color.

• The true nature of complex colors: The volcanic soluble substances and fine particles contained in the water, along with the surrounding plants and light reflections, intricately intertwine to create variations such as emerald green and cobalt blue.
• Scenery that changes with every step: The powerful emerald color of the largest 'Bishamon-numa' and the fantastical blue of 'Aonuma' are truly breathtaking as the scenery transforms with each step.

■ Searching for the 'Heart of Happiness'

You can enjoy rowing boats at Bishamon-numa, but a secretly popular activity here is searching for 'carp with heart patterns'.

• Lucky Jinx: It is said that finding a white carp with a red heart pattern on its belly will bring you happiness.
• Healing Adventure: Walking while listening to the birds' chirping as background music and gazing down to the transparent bottom of the pond is truly extraordinary. Please experience the emotion of walking through a palette of colors that symbolizes the vitality of Urabandai.
