Cherry blossoms, fresh greenery, autumn leaves, and the silver snow scenery――. Here, you can confidently say that there are breathtaking views that are 'always the best' throughout the year.

■ Looking up from the lake: 'Another Mount Bandai'

What you must experience during the green season is the approach from the lake.

• Exclusive view: As you advance to the center of the lake by sightseeing boat or motorboat, you can see the ruggedly exploded crater wall (Urabandai) that can never be viewed from the land.
• Color contrast: Especially from mid-May to June, the contrast between the transparent blue lake surface and the fresh green is most beautiful, allowing you to experience a refreshing feeling that cleanses the soul.

■ Colorful winter tradition: 'Wakasagi fishing'

As winter arrives and the vast lake surface freezes solid, Lake Hibara transforms into a 'silver canvas'.

• Winter tradition: The sight of colorful tents lined up on the ice for Wakasagi fishing symbolizes winter in Urabandai.
• Winter-exclusive activities: You can enjoy unique experiences this season, such as getting lost in the excitement of Wakasagi fishing or walking on the frozen lake with snowshoes, forgetting the cold.
