Savor the Spectacular Views of Bandai Mountain and Lake Inawashiro from the Lakeside

About this spot

An observation spot located on the northern shore of Lake Inawashiro, offering a panoramic view of Japan's fourth-largest lake. The scenic view of Bandai Mountain rising on the far side of the lake is renowned as a representative summer landscape of Fukushima. The lakeside features a well-maintained walking path, and the breeze crossing the lake surface is refreshingly cool even in the height of summer. Lake Inawashiro earned the alternate name "Tenkyō Lake" (Heaven's Mirror Lake) because Emperor Meiji praised it as "appearing like a mirror reflecting the heavens." Take your time to appreciate the beauty of this lake in the daylight hours. The surrounding area has ample parking, and many families enjoy picnics here.

Tips

Approximately 10 minutes by car from Inawashiro Station. The lakeside walking path is paved and easy for young children to navigate. Bring a hat and sunscreen as the summer sun is intense. Be careful of footing when approaching the water's edge. It's convenient to pick up lunch from the Inawashiro Station area or a roadside station before heading there.
