Introducing the Bandai-Azuma Skyline, a fantastic scenic spot where you can get a close-up view of Mount Bandai in Fukushima Prefecture. From here, you can clearly admire the grandeur of Mount Bandai, and on days with fresh air, you can even enjoy every detail of the mountains. This is also a popular spot for photographers and photography enthusiasts.
It is a free observation spot along Route 7 in Inawashiro town, about 20 minutes by car from the Inawashiro IC. There is a wide shoulder along the roadside where medium-sized buses and other vehicles can easily stop, with parking space for several vehicles. There is no observation deck, but it is a fantastic scenic spot where you can get a close-up view of Mount Bandai from the roadside.
On clear days, the Bandai-Azuma Skyline offers a close-up view of Mount Bandai's grandeur. From the winter charm of hoarfrost to the spring greenery, and the autumn foliage, you can enjoy the expression of each season up close. It is also ideal for viewing the evening and nighttime starry sky, and you may even have the opportunity to capture the mountain shadows floating in the sea of clouds, making it a popular spot for photography enthusiasts.
As it is an observation spot by the roadside, please be careful of passing vehicles. The slippery road surface is particularly dangerous in rainy weather. Attention to snow removal is required in winter. There are several parking spaces, but there are no rest facilities. Please do not forget to adjust the temperature and prepare food and drinks.
After being fascinated by the beauty of Mount Bandai, we also recommend buying some souvenirs at the nearby Michi-no-Eki. If you want to fully enjoy the blessings of nature in Fukushima, why not start with the Bandai-Azuma Skyline? Please plan the weather and time carefully to enjoy a wonderful encounter with the fantastic scenery.
