[A Mysterious Color Recognized by the World] The Shine of Three Michelin Stars. The 'Goshikinuma Nature Trail' that Shakes Your Senses

The 'Goshikinuma Lake Group', born from the eruption of Mount Bandai in 1888, is the 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 received 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 unique point of Goshikinuma is the reason why each pond has completely different colors.

• The Identity of Complex Colors: The volcanic water-soluble substances and fine particles contained in the water, along with the surrounding plants and light reflections, intertwine to create variations such as emerald green and cobalt blue.
• A Landscape Repainted with Every Step: The powerful emerald color of the largest 'Bishamon-numa' and the fantastical blue of 'Aonuma' are truly breathtaking as the scenery changes 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 'koi with heart patterns'.

• Lucky Jinx: It is said that if you find a white koi with a red heart pattern on its belly, you will find happiness.
• A 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.
