오우 산맥‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪7‬개의 산 정상

Summit is nice,but do not go down the trail to omoshiroyama-kōgen station (this trail is very dangerous). I reccommend going down in the eastern direction or towards Ametaki falls, as it is safer.

Mt. Bandai (or Bandaisan), is registered as a UNESCO Japanese Geopark since 2011. Mt. Bandai has known two major sector collapses and debris avalanches: one 50,000 years ago and the latest in 1888. The first sector collapse is said to have led to the formation of the famous Inawashiro lake. The second one in 1888 was a phreatic eruption. Unlike the destructive magmatic eruptions in most volcanoes, the explosion in Mt. Bandai consisted of high-temperature steam, preserving a large part of the surrounding flora.

Mt. Bandai is crossed by three peaks: Mt. Bandai's central peak, Kushigamine's peak, and Mt. Akahani's peak. Kushigamine can be recognized by its reddish/brownish rocky paths. The northeast side suffered a big phreatic explosion in 1888, leaving its landscapes marked by the consequences of landslides and debris avalanches. The mountain's name: "the comb peak," was given for the sharp shape of its southern side that looks like a comb's teeth.

Mt. Adatara is a fabulous mountain, one of Japan's 100 most famous mountains, located near Dake Onsen, with a ropeway station at the top, a beautiful orange crater and magnificent red leaves in autumn.

One of the many volcanoes / peaks that are a part of the Bandai-Asahi National Park and that is located between Yonezawa City (Yamagata Prefecture) and Fukushima Prefecture, culminating at 1928m high. A place where to find the native fir : Abies mariesii.

You cannot cycle past this point. There is a toll booth and they will stop you (there are signs that say no bicycles past this point). There are hiking trails, but seems difficult to carry a bike up them.

Rest house on top of Mount Hachimantai with bathroom, rest area, snacks, souvenir shops, fauna and flora information, and, most importantly, a great viewpoint!
