Fukushima Travel – Scenic Driving Through Fresh Greenery on the Bandai-Azuma Lake Line

Early summer is the perfect time to explore one of Fukushima’s most scenic driving routes: the Bandai-Azuma Lake Line. Surrounded by lush green forests and dramatic mountain views, this winding road offers a peaceful and breathtaking Fukushima travel experience, ideal for those who love nature, photography, and off-the-beaten-path adventures.

In June, the fresh greenery is at its peak, making every curve of the road a delight to drive. Along the way, don’t miss popular scenic spots such as:

• San-ko Paradise (Three Lakes Paradise) – A panoramic viewpoint with stunning reflections of nearby lakes

•  

• Nakatsugawa Valley – A tranquil gorge with emerald waters and dramatic rock formations, perfect for nature photography

As you follow the mountain route, enjoy ever-changing views of Mount Bandai from different angles—a photographer’s dream.

Another unforgettable highlight of this Fukushima tour is the chance to spot wild Japanese macaques. During early summer, these monkeys often appear near the roadside, some carrying tiny baby monkeys, offering a rare and heartwarming sight. (Please enjoy from a distance—do not approach or feed the animals for your safety and theirs.)

📷 Photos taken in early June beautifully capture the vibrant colors and peaceful ambiance of the Lake Line.
