紅葉が始まる時期に訪れました。裏磐梯を車で走り、紅葉を眺めながらしばらくすると素敵な建物が見えてきます。 諸橋廷蔵氏の熱い思いで建てられた美術館、その周りは小川もあり、山の景色と建物と池があり、素敵な美術館です。 パリの小さな美術館には行ったことがあり、そこに置いてあったブロンズ像より、大きく立派な像が何体か置いてあり、見ごたえがありました。 絵画は、テトゥンアンの大会戦が観れて、こんな大きなダリ...

磐梯山の噴火で湖ができた過程がよくわかる。観光客にはあまり人気がないらしく訪れる人は少ない。展示内容は大人向けなので子供は楽しめないと思う。貴重な資料がたくさんあり、どうやって湖ができたのか、湖には村が沈んでいるとか、いろいろ勉強になる。

- Fukushima Yama-gun Kitashiobara Mura Hibara Kengamine 1093-716
- A memorial museum that helps visitors understand everything about volcanos and eruptions.

It also has exhibits about the connection between volcanos (worldwide and in Japan) and meteorological phenomena, as well as temporary seasonal exhibits.

30年ぶりくらいに訪ねました。その頃は、3D画像が珍しく、磐梯山の噴火で飛んでくる岩にびっくりし、思わず身体をひねって避けたりしました。その迫力は変わらなかったのですが、3Dが珍しくなくなったこともあるのか、他のシーンは、それなりでした。画像の色ももう一つと感じました。

There is a spectacular ‘male’ waterfall that flows down a giant boulder, and an elegant quietly flowing ‘female’ waterfall on the west side, creating a beautiful contrast.

- Urabandai Highland
- Travel / Tourism
- Kitashiobara Village, Yama-gun, Fukushima Prefecture
- "Urabandai Highland is a highland area to the north of Mt. Bandai, located around 25 minutes' drive from Inawashiro Bandai Kogen Interchange on the Ban-Etsu Expressway. Viewed from the south, Mt. Bandai has a very neat, mountain-like appearance, but the north side has a rough, irregular shape due to sectoral collapse, hence the name ""Urabandai"" (meaning ""Back of Mt. Bandai""). Urabandai is famous for the Goshikinuma lakes and ponds; there are many lakes and ponds, with water that takes a wide range of different colors, including emerald green and cobalt blue. Urabandai is a great place to visit in spring (for the new greenery) and autumn (for the autumn foliage), but it is also well worth seeing in winter, when visitors can enjoy snowshoe-trekking. Special guided tours, available only in winter, take visitors to see Goshikinuma ponds when they are at their most magical and mysterious."
