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

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

• Exclusive view: As you head to the center of the lake by sightseeing boat or motorboat, you can see the rugged, explosively formed crater wall (Urabandai) that can never be seen from the land.
• Color contrast: Especially from mid-May to June during the fresh greenery season, the contrast between the transparent blue lake surface and the lush green is at its most beautiful, allowing you to experience a refreshing sensation that cleanses your spirit.

■ Colorful winter tradition 'Wakasagi fishing'

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

• 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.
