Urabandai Visitor Center

[Urabandai Prologue] A knowledge hub that changes the resolution of adventure: '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 upcoming journey richer and more special.

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

• Drama of Creation: You can visually understand the history of how the great eruption of Mount Bandai in 1888 caused the mountain to collapse and created a group of lakes.
• Memory of the New Land: Knowing that the beautiful landscape in front of you is actually a 'new land' that was formed only about 140 years ago adds depth to your stroll.

■ Capture the seasons with all five senses: '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 the hiking trails to the alpine plants currently in bloom, wild birds, and even information on the sightings of Asian black bears, you can grasp it all in real-time.
• Lens 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' full of the wonders of life.
