Fukushima Travel – Goshikinuma Ponds in Winter

Urabandai, Fukushima – February 2026

The Goshikinuma (Five-Colored Ponds) in Urabandai are famous for their ever-changing colors throughout the seasons. Emerald green, cobalt blue, turquoise—each pond reflects minerals born from volcanic activity, creating hues that shift with light and weather.

While spring and autumn are well known for their beauty, winter reveals something even more mystical.

Blanketed in deep snow, the forest falls silent. The ponds, partially frozen and framed by white landscapes, glow more vividly against the pure winter backdrop. The crisp air and clear light intensify the colors, creating a scene that feels almost otherworldly.

On sunny winter days, the snow-covered peak of Mount Bandai rises majestically in the distance, completing a breathtaking panorama unique to this season.

When the snowfall is deep, visitors can also experience snowshoe trekking through the quiet forest, walking gently across untouched snow and discovering the ponds from a new perspective.
