The largest lake in the Urabandai area, it’s also a great place to admire the magnificent scenery on the other side of Mount Bandai. On this visit to the shore of Lake Hibara, the vast lake and surrounding mountains complemented each other so beautifully that I couldn’t help staying a little longer. The water changed color with the sunlight, while the distant mountains were reflected on the lake, making the whole scene especially peaceful and soothing.
Lake Hibara has a different charm in every season: the freshness of spring, lush greenery of summer, red maple leaves of fall, and snowy scenery of winter. Each season has its own beauty. You can also take a sightseeing boat on the lake to enjoy the scenery from a different angle and spend some relaxing time surrounded by nature.
When visiting Urabandai, don’t forget to set aside some time to walk around Lake Hibara, feel the breeze by the water, and look at Mount Bandai. You don’t have to do anything at all for it to be enjoyable.
