Goshikinuma Nature Trail

【The Mystical Colors Recognized by the World】 The Radiance of Michelin Three Stars. A 'Guided Travel' Experience that Shakes Your Senses at the 'Goshikinuma Nature Trail'

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, has been awarded the highest rank of three stars in the 'Michelin Green Guide Japan' for its beauty, making it a world-renowned path. It is almost flat and easy to walk, allowing you to experience a miraculous array of colors in about 1 hour and 10 minutes.

■ The 'Magic of Colors' Woven by Science and Nature 
The biggest unique point of Goshikinuma is the completely different colors of each pond. The volcanic soluble substances and fine particles contained in the water, along with the surrounding plants and reflections of light, intertwine complexly to create variations that cannot be expressed in words, such as emerald green, cobalt blue, and turquoise blue. In particular, the powerful emerald color of the largest pond, 'Bishamon-numa', the fantastical blue of 'Aonuma', and the beautiful contrast with aquatic plants in 'Benten-numa' create breathtaking scenery that changes with every step.

■ Searching for the 'Heart of Happiness' 
You can also enjoy rowing boats at Bishamon-numa, but a secretly popular activity here is searching for 'carp with heart patterns'. There is a superstition that finding a white carp with a red heart pattern on its belly will bring you happiness. Walking while overlooking the transparent bottom of the pond with the chirping of birds as background music is truly a 'healing adventure' that makes you forget your daily life. Experience the vitality of Urabandai as if walking through a palette of colors.
