Fukushima Travel – A Breathtaking Drive in Fukushima, Bandai-Azuma Skyline

 

If you’re looking for a scenic mountain adventure during your Fukushima travel, the Bandai-Azuma Skyline is a must-see destination.

As of June 18, the road is surrounded by vibrant fresh greenery, offering some of the most spectacular views in northeastern Japan.

This famous highland route weaves through the Azuma Mountain Range, connecting the city of Fukushima with the lush volcanic landscapes around Mount Azuma. Every twist and turn reveals dramatic vistas, making it a favorite among photographers, drivers, and nature lovers alike.

One of the highlights along the Skyline is the Jododaira Visitor Center, a convenient base for exploring the area. From here, you can easily hike up to Azuma-Kofuji, a beautifully shaped crater that resembles Mount Fuji in miniature. The short hike offers panoramic views and is accessible even to casual hikers—perfect for anyone wanting to experience mountain trekking during their Fukushima tour.

Right beside the visitor center lies the peaceful Jododaira Marshland, now at its seasonal peak.

In mid-June, the marsh is dotted with soft white cottongrass (watasuge), creating a dreamy contrast against the lush green background. It’s a great spot for nature photography, birdwatching, or simply a quiet walk through Japan’s alpine ecosystems.
