Bandai-Azuma Lake Line

Overview

The Bandai-Azuma Lake Line is a scenic 13km-long road that circles the three lakes formed by the 1888 eruption of Mount Bandai: Lake Onokagawa, Lake Akimoto, and Lake Hinohara. Once a toll road, it became permanently free in 2013, making it more accessible to visitors. True to its name, the Lake Line runs along the shores of the three lakes, offering magnificent views of Mount Bandai and the beautiful lakes. Spring brings lush greenery, summer offers a refreshing escape from the heat, and autumn paints the mountains in vibrant reds and yellows. The Lake Line also features several natural spots, such as the Nakatsugawa Valley. The Nakatsugawa Valley Rest House, with its parking lot, provides a place to rest and grab a bite to eat. There's also the ‘San-ko Paradise’ viewpoint, offering panoramic views of the three lakes. The Bandai-Azuma Lake Line is an easy drive, making it perfect for beginners. Enjoy a relaxing drive while taking in the breathtaking natural scenery and stunning views.
