Bandai-Azuma Skyline: Spectacular Jodo Plateau Drive
A magnificent drive course on the Bandai-Azuma Skyline, a mountainous scenic highway that ascends in one exhilarating rush from Fukushima city streets to above the clouds. Visiting the Fudozawa Bridge spanning Tsubakuro Valley, Tengu no Niwa (Tengu's Garden)—where tengu are said to have played—and other scenic spots of the Azuma Eight Views, you'll reach Jodo Plateau at approximately 1,600 meters elevation. After studying volcanic nature at the Visitor Center, enjoy the Ohachi-meguri crater rim circuit walk around Azuma-Kofuji and a boardwalk stroll through Jodo Plateau Wetland. Rugged volcanic terrain and delicate alpine plants, constantly shifting window views as you drive—this full day is perfect for a group of friends who love driving and want to enjoy the very act of gripping the steering wheel.
