Goshikinuma Ponds is a charming destination that showcases a sequence of lakes. These bodies of water were formed by volcanoes and are widely known for their varying hues. It's an ideal spot for a leisurely stroll, particularly on a sunny weekday as it offers hassle-free access from the parking lot situated at both ends. For added convenience, visitors can take the bus back to the trailhead after hiking one way for 250.
A beautiful free walking experience through the ponds of many colours. Took 1 hour one way, and you can catch a bus back to the visitor centre either side.

Easy and pleasant walk! Came here with my parents and the trail was very manageable. The path around the pond takes about an hour at a relaxed pace, with beautiful views and fresh air. Great spot for families and older visitors.

Goshikinuma means “Five-Colored Marshes / Ponds.” It’s a group of lakes and ponds in the Urabandai / Mt. Bandai area, created after the eruption of Mt. Bandai in 1888

We wanted to go around these famous ponds, but it was raining and the ground was muddy. We only went to the one closest to the carpark, Yanaginuma Pond. It was still beautiful, but felt this was not fully experience here.

Wonderful experience in autumn even under bear sighting news. Really stunning views along the trek with all the different ponds, the colours of pond, sky , autumn foliage and nearby mountains. Definitely worth a 2nd visit to go slower and enjoy it more

Absolutely beautiful hiking spot. You can easily walk along multiple lake on foot. Round trip to the parking spot can be adult done in 2hrs or less. No need to have heavy hiking gear and can be done with small children too. There are few boat rental and cafe and restaurant too. Parking was free. Totally recommended.

Road Station Urabandai is a delightful roadside stop nestled in the stunning Bandai-Asahi National Park, perfect for travelers seeking a break amidst nature. This charming location features eateries serving delicious meals made from local ingredients, a farmers' market brimming with fresh produce at great prices, and souvenir shops to take home a piece of your adventure.
We slept here overnight in our campervan in mid April. We didn't realise there would be so much snow so this place was very helpful. It was quiet to sleep at overnight and the toilets were very clean. There is an ice cream stand and a farmers market. We had wasabi ice cream for breakfast in the snow.

Went out of our way to come to this road station to get back near some snow for the kids. There was plenty of snow and it was a nice quiet place with clean facilities. We came here in early December and the scenery was amazing. Everything was dusted white with snow! A nice Michi no eki. Probs perfect of you were in a camper like us and venturing to a ski slope nearby. There was also an onsen 5 minutes down the road to get cleaned up and warm.

Urabandai Ski Resort is a hidden gem offering skiing and snowboarding lessons, as well as a thrilling sledding course and scenic snowshoe trails. At the final lift point, visitors can marvel at the breathtaking view of the landscape shaped by the 1888 eruption. The resort also houses museums and art galleries, including the Morohashi Museum of Modern Art with an impressive collection featuring works by renowned artists.
Great experience for me and friends… Happy with a snow board around 100 yards... A very good Atmosphere

Went here for skiing. Very unsatisfied. The ski area is small and poorly planned with very little variation. Felt like I overpaid for what I was getting. Really didn't understand the reason to give so much money. Advantages: Uses PayPay as method of payment. Has a babyroom with cribs and toys for the young ones. Good for beginners and young kids. Lifts are slow and low, so also good for kids.

(Translated by Google) I visited during a three-day weekend in February. It's been about 20 years since I last visited when I was single, but I felt at ease that nothing had changed in a good way. There are no escalators in the kids park, and there is only a space for sledding, but since the number of customers is small, it is highly recommended for beginners and those who don't like crowded places. However, the dining area gets crowded at lunchtime, so we recommend arriving early. (Original) 2月の三連休で訪問しました。 独身時代の訪問から約20年ぶりでしたが、良い意味で変わっておらず安心して過ごせました。 キッズパークにエスカレーターは無く、ソリ遊びができるスペースがあるのみですが、客数が少ないので混み合う場所が苦手な方や初心者の方にはとてもオススメです。 とはいえお昼は食事どころが混み合うので早めの行動がオススメです。

(Translated by Google) A must-see for snowboarders making their Bandai snowboarding debut! 😊 The snow quality is the best in Fukushima Prefecture! While there aren't many runs, the peaks offer slopes of over 30°, with both groomed and ungroomed runs, creating powder runs and carving runs perfect for experts. The pistes are also well-maintained. The gentle slopes near the first lift near the center offer safe skiing for children and beginners. There's also a sledding area and swings for added fun!♪ The medium slopes near the third lift offer great carving, and you can also play around with the terrain and try freestyle and run-style tricks. The lodge's dining room is spacious and perfect for families, so grandparents can enjoy the famous mountain salt ramen while watching their grandchildren ski. We also recommend renting snowshoes and hiking up to the legendary Yellow Falls. 🌟 The meticulous safety measures, such as cutting down bushes with pruning shears, are impressive. 🌟A ski resort that cares for children and beginners.

(Translated by Google) I only go there in the summer, but I like the view of the lakes and marshes, including Lake Hibara, and the forest from the top of the ski resort. This is one of the trailheads for Mt. Bandai, and the course is interesting with lots of variety along the way. There are thrilling sections with ladders and chains on the mountainside near the cliffs. (Original) 夏場しか行っていませんが、スキー場の最上部から見える桧原湖などの湖沼群や森の景色が好きです。磐梯山の登山口の一つで、このコースは途中変化に富んで面白い。崖に近い山肌に備えられたハシゴやクサリのカ所がスリルあります。

Grandeco Snow Resort is a small skiing area known for its high-quality snow and tree-lined trails suitable for beginners. It's located about 4 hours from Tokyo by car, behind Mt Bandai, offering a backcountry experience with excellent snow conditions. The resort provides amenities such as equipment rental, kids' play area, and clean restrooms. Visitors can also enjoy activities like snowboarding and skiing in the winter season or appreciate the beauty of momiji in autumn.
Truly a hidden paradise. If this is discovered by tourists for sure this will be popular in no time like the ones in Niseko and Myoko Kogen which are more popular. The resort is a haven for winter enthusiasts, offering a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. The slopes were well-maintained and varied, catering to all skill levels—from gentle beginner runs to thrilling black diamond trails. The lift system was efficient, with minimal wait times, even during peak hours. My family had a lesson from a very friendly instructor , although not very well spoken in English was very kind, patient and knowledgeable. The gondola ride was breathtaking and 1 day pass is only 2000Y. The ski lift passes are also value for money. It has slopes for beginners, intermediate and advanced. Has restaurant at the top and at the base. All staff are very friendly and powdered snow is like no other. It also has a great kids fun area and guests from en resort hotel can get a free pickup ride to and from the resort. Only 30mins away from Inawashiro Hotel and the resort offers public bus from both Inawashiro Station and Koriyama station for a minimal fee. for those who drive, it has ample parking space- thus if you have your own suit and gear, all u need to worry is to buy a 1day pass for a small fee with discounts for different age categories. The resort itself is stunning, nestled amidst breathtaking mountain scenery. The cozy lodges provided the perfect retreat after a long day on the slopes, with roaring fireplaces and panoramic views of the snow-covered peaks. The on-site restaurants offered delicious food, with hearty meals and gourmet hot chocolate that hit the spot after the cold.

Not a crowded resort, food court is spacious, venues selling snacks, Baskin Robbins ice cream, and crepes. Ski rental and ski shop available. Shuttle bus pick up/ drop off from hotel. Both lift and gondola take you to the top, and another lift to the highest point for advanced skiers.

Reagan B — Google review
4hours from Tokyo by car but we’ll worth it! It is behind Mt Bandai about 20km and the last few km’s are very deep in the backcountry…but the snow is that much better! Snow Scoots and Snow Moto’s are 100% welcome here. They even rent the latest Snow Moto models with several board options. View my pic to see the pricing. They even had one with the Shark Super carving board! Only downside is that the Gondala is very small and old. It was a real challenge to get my ride inside and they even stopped the Gondala to allow me enough time to squeeze in. So I only tried this once…there were 2 hi-speed covered quad lifts that were just as fast, so I did not miss out. This is a Tokyu Resort and the hotel was reasonably priced with a Onsen/spa. Next time I will stay here to enjoy the great snow!

Nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Fukushima, Hoshino Resorts Nekoma Mountain South Area is a winter wonderland that caters to all skiing enthusiasts. With an impressive array of ski runs suitable for every skill level and dedicated snowboarding parks, it’s perfect for families and adventurers alike. The resort boasts modern facilities and offers easy access to rental services with English-speaking staff, making your experience seamless.
Really nice ski resort in Fukushima, the season runs a bit later than most places in the area and starts sooner than other places! The powder quality was excellent when I went. So time is right and you may also be blessed. 😇 I had a lot of fun slipping into some tree areas The ski pass can be bought online for a 500yen discount, at least when I went, and your ski lift card can be returned at the end of the day for 500 yen or exchanged directly for a crepe or ice cream which is fun 💕 😋 Food at the mid mountain lodge I went to eat at was… so so. The French tacos are basically just hot pockets but the wait to get them is eternal and it’s like a thin burrito with mostly cheese. I was absolutely starving so I was disappointed, but the taste was fine. I think if you want a proper meal the bottom of the mountain is a better bet. The bottom lift might be crowded but once you are up higher there are much less people and less lines. The resort is definitely more fun with higher level skiers.

Some of the on mountain signage for trails are also in English which makes navigation simple. Stunning views of My Bandai, the lake and surrounds from the top. Food on the mountain is good and not entirely overpriced like most resorts. Rental was a breeze with English forms and friendly experienced staff. Highly recommend it!

About 3.5 hours drive from Tokyo, it is worth the trip. The view of lake Inawashiro and the surrounding area is superb. Snow Scoot’s and Snow Moto’s are 100% welcome here. The longest run is about 3km! Only downside was that the Gondola was not operating…not sure why. Hoshino Resorts also owns Nekoma Ski resort on the backside of Mt Bandai and they a connected by a short 15 minute hike. Nekoma is on the shadow/back side and the snow is very different from the Alta Bandai frontside.

First season of snowboarding and this resort lived up to it's promise of having some amazing fresh power. There are many paths to go down from and an eating place down some lifts in the middle of the mountain. The reception was poor but such amazing scenery of the mountains and lake from certain areas.

It is a ski resort that can be reached in about 3 hours from the Tokyo metropolitan area using the Bullet train. Ease of access is attractive above all. I felt that it is not for wealthy people like Niseko, but for families, children and young people. Lift tickets are also cheap. There are plenty of activities for people who don't ski or snowboard, as well as beginners. Shopping needs to go down the mountain. I recommend the crepe you can eat at the Yama cafe!

Il Regalo, an Italian restaurant, offers delectable cuisine that includes thin and crispy pizza as well as spicy salami penne arrabiata. Unlike the nearby hotels' izakaya, their food is superior in quality. Despite limited dinner options in the area, Il Regalo provides a satisfying dining experience with dishes such as pasta, pizza, cheese platter, bread with dipping oil and balsamico.
Delicious lunch offerings of crunchy salads, saucy pasta and crispy Roma-style pizza. The staff were careful to get our order exact and were very tolerant of our young children. I recommend the salami and olive pizza, encourage any of their dessert offerings, and attest that they deliver a great espresso too.

We had a lovely stay in this wonderful Italian albergo for 5 nights in February 2025. The location worked well for us, midway between several ski fields. Il Regalo is a delight, a small family-run hotel with 6 rooms above the restaurant, just like in Italy. The owner was so kind and helpful to us. In broken english he would recommend ski fields and sell us discounted lift tickets. He is also an absolute Italophile and the entire property is decked out in Italian ceramics and souvenirs. The Italian food and wine for dinner makes a great change and the breakfasts (included) were excellent - an offering of salad, fruit and yoghurt, a daily hot dish and pastries. We had a very large, comfortable corner bedroom with a nice view out the back of the property. The carpet was badly stained, otherwise the room was clean and serviced daily, Even the king bed sheets were changed daily! We stored our skis and dried our boots in front of a heater in the small foyer. The excessive snow was cleared from the carpark twice a day.

Good food. Thin and crispy pizza, the missus had spicy salami penne arrabiata. Granted there is very little in the area for dinner options but miles better than the garbage served at our nearby hotel’s “izakaya”. Not so expensive, a pasta dish, pizza, cheese platter, bread and dipping oil n balsamico and 3 glasses of wine for around ¥7000.

This place was AMAZING. We came after a hike and the owner was so nice! all the staff was amazing! And the food was spectacular. Our favorite was the waygu pasta, where the meat quite literally MELTED in our mouth. The espresso may have been the best i've had in quite a while, and all the desserts were 10/10. Definitely recommend the matcha panacada. If your in the area its a must try!

During a sightseeing trip, one can visit the trendy Restaurant Mountley. This establishment offers an array of delectable dishes such as juicy hamburger steak and flavorful mentaiko pasta. The hamburger steak is tender and succulent, while the black pepper variation piques curiosity for future visits. The bread served is aromatic and impeccably baked. Although the mentaiko pasta impresses with its chewy texture and delightful taste, it could benefit from a larger quantity of squid.
Very good restaurant specialized in Hamburg Steak ( A kind of Japanese minced steak ).

I was also interested in the black pepper hamburger steak, so if I have the chance to come next time, I would definitely like to try that too! The bread is fragrant and perfectly baked! ! And the mentaiko pasta is chewy and delicious! Is there only 2 pieces of squid in there? So I thought it would be nice to have a little more! Also, the food and the atmosphere inside the restaurant were very good, so it would be great if the staff were a little more friendly. I thought so! We only accept cash, so if you are cashless, please be careful before ordering. Thank you for the meal!

(Translated by Google) It's a slightly lively autumn day as tourists are slowly returning to Urabandai. I went to that delicious hamburger restaurant for the first time in a while. The 260g jumbo hamburger has a meaty and moist texture, and is lightly salted with a rich homemade demi sauce that enhances the deliciousness of the hamburger. The meat juices overflow from the cuts in the tightly packed hamburger steak. Add the sauce to your heart's content, serve on the rice, and taste innocently. I have loved hamburgers since I was a child. Even as an adult, the bliss of eating a delicious hamburger like this remains the same. (Original) 裏磐梯にも観光客の姿が少しずつ戻りつつある、少し賑やかな秋の日。久しぶりにハンバーグの美味いあの店に向かう。 肉肉しくしっとりした食感のジャンボハンバーグは260g、塩味も控えめでコク深い自家製デミソースがハンバーグの美味しさをさらに引き立てる。 みっちり詰まったハンバーグに切れ目からあふれ出る肉汁。ソースを思い切り絡めオンザライスし、無邪気に味わう。 子供の頃からハンバーグが大好き。 大人になってもこういう美味しいハンバーグを食べる至福は変わらない。

There is no place to sit and wait at the entrance, and the door has to shift every time you open it. A bit sad near the toilet The bill is located in the middle of the table. Poor manners considering the price and atmosphere (Original) 観光地お値段ハンバーグセット2300円頂きました。パンくずが沢山落ちてもそのままコーヒーが出て来ました。パンが大きくバターが足り無いかもしれません。私の好みでは無い味です。紅葉ジーンズで満席でした。入り口に座って待てる場所もなく扉があくたびずれ無いといけません。トイレの近くでちょっと悲しい お会計はテーブル席の真ん中にあります。 お値段や雰囲気の割りにマナー無し

Ramen restaurant
I heard it was going to be excellent. However, I didn't anticipate just how amazing it would be! If you're looking for unpretentious and simply delightful ramen, this is the place for you. No flashy decorations or extravagant elements here – just a straightforward broth, noodles, and delicious Chaashu. I can't stress enough that the simplicity of the flavors is what makes it so enjoyable; no fancy sauces or seasonings overpowering the ingredients.
Such a beautiful ramen shop you should visit. It’s located on the top of a small hill looking down a nice lake. We can walk down the peer and enjoy the scenery after lunch too. I ordered clear soup (just salt). It was so great. The noodle is very good and the pork is nice. You don’t need the pork though. Just order the first menu (for regular noodle) the second for extra noodle. The second group menu for extra pork (I ordered this one and think there are too many pieces of pork in the bowl—see my photo). Again the first one of the second group is for regular amount of noodle.. We bought candies from the shop too. It is quite something. Only in Japan that they do eat salt candy.

I was told it was going to be good. What I didn't expect is that it's going to be THAT GOOD! If you want a ramen that's not pretentious and simply delicious for what it is....this is the place. No sparkles ✨, eye candy or crazy things here: A simple broth, simple noodles and delicious Chaashu. I keep saying simple but it's not boring simple...it's delicious simple. The kind of simplicity where you can taste the ingredients that are presented to you, no fancy sauce or seasonings. I drove 90 minutes to get there and I will do it again. It should be noted that the place is popular and therefore you should arrive early. We arrived at 9:30 and were the last people to be allowed in the restaurant during the first seating... meaning after we sat down the restaurant was full and people had to wait outside.

Delicious chashu topped ramen. It was so savoury but the broth didn’t feel too heavy. I wish I could have it again soon! A perfect meal during the cold Fukushima winter. 🍜

Only cash. BEST. CHASHYU. RAMEN. EVER. Hot, steamy, and absolutely delicious. I went on a cold, rainy summer day. Great view of the lake, too. I normally dislike ramen, but the ramen here was amazing. I’m in heaven.

(Translated by Google) A French restaurant located within Nekoma Imperial Villa at Urabandai Lake Resort. Not only is the food delicious, but the wine selected by the sommelier is also very delicious. We recommend leaving the wine to a sommelier as you can discover new things. I am completely addicted to it and use it for every anniversary.

Restaurant
The restaurant at Rest House Goshikinuma, located in a popular tourist spot, exceeded expectations despite initial skepticism. Positive reviews piqued curiosity about its offerings. Upon trying the tempura soba, fillet sauce cutlet bowl, and soba set, complete satisfaction was achieved. The establishment proved to be spacious and well-maintained with commendable customer service. While the flavor of the soba could use improvement, it possessed a delightful texture that pleased the palate.
(Translated by Google) The toilet was very clean! It smells like wood. It's now my favorite toilet I've ever used. (Original) トイレがめっちゃキレイでした!木の香りがします。今まで使った中で一番好きなトイレになりました。

(Translated by Google) I visited you on October 30th. The sauce cutlet bowl was average, but the soba noodles were super delicious! ! I was surprised. I have been to many high-end restaurants and places that are selected as famous restaurants on Tabelog, and I think this is one of the most delicious restaurants. The quality is amazing at this price. I only stopped by while visiting a nearby art museum (which also exhibits works by Dali and Picasso), but I think I unexpectedly found a great shop. (Original) 10月30日にお邪魔しました。 ソースカツ丼は普通でしたが、お蕎麦がめちゃくちゃ美味しい!!驚きました。高級店や食べログの名店に選ばれるような所に色々お邪魔していますが、その中でも美味しい方だと思います。この価格でこのクオリティは凄い。 近くの美術館(ダリやピカソも展示されてる)に来たついでに立ち寄っただけでしたが、思いがけず良いお店を見つけたと思います。

(Translated by Google) It's attached to a souvenir shop. The main menu items were sauce katsudon, Kitakata ramen, soba, etc., which could be purchased from a ticket machine. The katsudon was very filling and delicious, and since it was a weekday afternoon, there were plenty of seats and I was able to enjoy my meal at my own pace. The portions are quite large, so I think it's better to visit after your stroll rather than before (lol). (Original) お土産屋さんと一緒になっています 券売機で購入する形でソースカツ丼、喜多方ラーメン、そばなどのメニューがメインでした カツ丼はボリュームがあってとても美味しく平日の昼間だったので席もゆとりがありゆっくり食事が楽しめました 結構量があるので散策前より散策後に訪れた方がいいと思います(笑)

(Translated by Google) We went in as a group of two around 12:30 on a Sunday while we were checking out Goshikinuma. There was no wait, but it wasn't particularly empty, and it seemed like several groups were constantly coming and going. We ordered a sauce katsudon (pork cutlet bowl), a type of B-grade Fukushima gourmet food, and Kitakata ramen. I forget the prices, but I think the sauce katsudon was in the 1000 yen range and the other in the 900 yen range. The sauce katsudon was freshly fried and crispy, and delicious. The sweet and spicy sauce mixed well with the pork cutlet and cabbage, making it tasty. It was tasty, but just average. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from the Kitakata ramen, but it was very delicious. It was light, yet had a rich, fatty flavor and a deep flavor. I ended up drinking quite a bit of the soup, which I don't usually drink. When I think of Kitakata ramen, I imagine square pork slices on top, but this ramen had the typical round pork slices on top. I don't know much about ramen, but is it the kind they sell at Gyosu or something? But it made me realize how delicious Kitakata ramen is, and it was so good that it made me want to eat it again on this trip! I guess it can't be helped since it's the mountains, but there was a pretty tough-looking bug flying around the restaurant, and it dove into the Kitakata ramen soup I still wanted to drink, which was disappointing, so I gave it a 3 star rating for the atmosphere. Peeeeeep Thank you for the meal. (Original) 日曜日の12:30ごろ、五色沼見るついでに2名で入店しました。 待ち時間なく入れましたが、すごい空いているわけでもなく、何グループかが常に出入りしているようでした。 福島県のB級グルメのソースカツ丼と喜多方ラーメンを注文しました。値段は忘れてしまいましたが、ソースカツ丼が1000円代で900円代だったと思います。 ソースカツ丼は、揚げたてサクサクで美味しかったです。甘辛いソースもカツとキャベツに絡んで美味しかったです。美味しかったのですが、普通でした。 喜多方ラーメンは、正直期待していませんでしたが、とっても美味しかったです。 あっさりさもありつつ、しっかり脂の旨みものっていて、深い味でした。普段飲まないスープを結構飲んでしまいました。 喜多方ラーメンというと、四角いチャーシューが乗っているイメージがありましたが、こちらのラーメンには、よくある丸いチャーシューが乗っていました。ラーメンはよくわからないですが、業スーとかで売ってるやつですか? でも、喜多方ラーメンの美味しさに気づかされ、この旅でまた食べたいと思わせてくれるような美味しさでした! 山なのでしょうがないのですが、店内にまぁまぁ強そうな虫が飛んでおり、まだ飲みたかった喜多方ラーメンのスープにダイブされ、悲しかったので雰囲気は⭐️3としました。ピエン ごちそうさまでした

(Translated by Google) I went there without much expectations since it was a restaurant in a rest house in a tourist area, but after reading some good reviews, I was wondering how it really was. ? and. When I actually tried the meal, I was very satisfied with both the Tenzaru Soba, Fillet Sauce Katsudon, and Soba Set! The store was spacious, clean, and had good customer service. Although it lacked the flavor of soba, it was chewy and delicious! The tempura was also lightly battered and delicious! The sauce katsudon was also very delicious, and I was able to have a quick and satisfying meal here without having to go to a crowded popular restaurant ^_^ (Original) 観光地のレストハウスの食堂と言うことで、あまり期待しないで行きましたが、良い口コミも拝見して、本当はどうなのか??と。 実際に食事してみて、天ざる蕎麦、ヒレソースカツ丼と蕎麦のセット、どちらも大満足でした! 店内は広々、清潔感や接客なども良かったです。 蕎麦の風味はやはり欠けるものの、コシや喉越しが良く美味しかったです! 天ぷらも衣が軽く美味しかった!ソースカツ丼もとても美味しく、わざわざ混雑している人気店に行かずとも、こちらでサクッと満足な食事が出来ました^_^

(Translated by Google) ・I visited with my children at lunchtime during the summer holidays. By chance, we were able to enter without having to wait. ・The restaurant isn't that large, but you can purchase a meal ticket and reserve a seat for yourself. It's an old-fashioned establishment, but it's very clean. ・I ordered Kitakata ramen. I don't know the authentic taste, but it was very delicious. ・There are restrooms available. (Original) ・子連れで夏休みのお昼時に訪問。たまたま、待ち時間もなく入店出来ました。 ・店内はそこまで広くはありませんが、食券を購入し、各自席を確保する方法です。古き良き施設ですが、清潔感があります。 ・喜多方ラーメンを注文。本場の味を知るわけではないのですが、とても美味しかったです。 ・トイレもあります。
