Urabandai Visitor Center

[Urabandai Prologue] A knowledge base that changes the resolution of adventure, the 'Urabandai Visitor Center'

Located in the core of Bandai-Asahi National Park, the 'Urabandai Visitor Center' is not just a place to gaze at the vast nature of Urabandai, but a hub for disseminating information to deeply understand its 'formation' and 'present'. It serves as a prologue to the adventure that will make your upcoming journey richer and more special.

■ Witness the moment of 'landslide' with a powerful diorama

The unique highlight here is the gigantic topographical model that sits in the center of the facility.

• The drama of creation: You can visually understand the history of how the eruption of Mount Bandai in 1888 caused the mountain to collapse and created a cluster of lakes.
• Memories of the new land: Knowing that the beautiful landscape before you is actually a 'new land' that was born just about 140 years ago adds depth to your stroll.

■ Capture the seasons with all five senses in 'Real-Time Nature'

Inside the facility, you can find comprehensive 'live information' about Urabandai and check the latest conditions.

• Live nature information: From the conditions of hiking trails to the alpine plants currently blooming, wild birds, and even information about the appearance of Asian black bears, you can grasp it all in real-time.
• Lenses to interpret the scenery: Through dialogue with the guides, you can learn about the mysteries of Urabandai that are not found in guidebooks, transforming mere 'beautiful scenery' into a 'story' filled with the wonders of life.
