2026 Bandai Fire Mountain Festival (Urabandai) Full-Day Course
A full-day course centered around the Bandai Fire Mountain Festival, held at 7:30 PM on July 21, 2026 (Tuesday) near the First Parking Lot on the Hibara Lakeside in Kitashiobara Village, Yama County, Fukushima Prefecture. In the morning, stroll along the Goshikiぬま Nature Exploration Trail to witness Urabandai's vibrant natural colors. Next, board a cruise boat on Lake Hibara to enjoy the majestic views of Mt. Bandai from the water. In the afternoon, visit the serene Lake Sonoihara and rest peacefully by its shores lined with submerged trees. In the evening, return to the Hibara Lakeside venue, have dinner while watching the mountain sunset, and secure your viewing spot. Urabandai's high elevation keeps it cool even in summer, making it perfect for families to enjoy nature while watching fireworks in this scenic refuge. At 7:30 PM, fireworks light up the mountain-surrounded sky, and their glow reflects on the peaceful lake. A full day of experiencing Urabandai's natural beauty across the Goshikiぬま, Lake Hibara, and Lake Sonoihara.
