Journey Through Bandai-Asahi | Nature and Culture Born from the Volcanoes | National Parks of Japan
Bandai-Asahi National Park is Japan’s third-largest national park in terms of land area, spanning Yamagata, Fukushima, and Niigata Prefectures. In particular, the Bandai region — which includes Mt. Bandai and the Urabandai area to its north — and the Azuma region are volcanically active landscapes, where the terrain has been shaped by volcanoes, giving rise to a diverse natural environment.
Into this world comes a traveler looking to experience “authentic nature” — something rarely found in everyday life. Over the course of their journey, they encounter local community members and the diverse cultures born from the blessings of volcanoes, and are deeply moved by the grandeur of nature.
Real nature — that which cannot be felt through a screen — awaits you.
