Urabandai Visitor Center

【Urabandai Prologue】 A knowledge hub 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 base for disseminating information to deeply understand its 'formation' and 'present'. It serves as a prologue to the adventure that will make your journey richer and more special.

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

The quirky 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 group of lakes.
• Memories of the new land: Knowing that the beautiful landscape before you is actually the '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 'living information' about Urabandai and check the latest conditions.

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