The Urabandai Autumn Leaves Ropeway, which overlooks the magnificent view of Mt. Bandai and Lake Inawashiro along with the autumn leaves, is used by about 15,000 customers from inside and outside the prefecture during the season. It takes 15 minutes by ropeway from the foot of the mountain station (elevation 1,010m) to the summit station (elevation 1,390m). We will move 2,392m.

From late September to early November, you can enjoy the changing seasons of the mountains, beech and deciduous pine trees turn golden, and sumac, maple, and rowan turn bright red. From mid to late October, the autumn leaves are in full bloom from the ropeway road to the summit station.

In addition to the ropeway, we recommend trekking where you can enjoy the autumn leaves more closely. Along the way, the primeval beech forest spreads out, and the golden trees that surround it 360 degrees are a masterpiece.

・ “Dekodaira Marsh” where you can enjoy the autumn leaves of grass and the bright red leaves of sumac (20 minutes from the summit station)
・ “Hyakunuki Shimizu” (60 minutes from the summit station) to enjoy the spring water of the Ono River, one of the 100 best waters
