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

The most unique point of Goshikinuma is the completely different colors of each pond.

• The secret of complex colors: The volcanic water-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.
• A 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 changes as you progress.

■ 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 charm: It is said that if you find a white carp 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 looking 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.
