Bandai-Azuma Lake Line is a 13.1-km driveway connecting Inawashiro Town and Kitashiobara Village. Along the road is an outstanding scenic landscape with hundreds of lakes including Lake Akimoto, Lake Onogawa, and Lake Hibara. The Nakatsugawa Valley, which lies half-way along the road, offers a wonderful view of the combination of rock surfaces polished by strong water currents and woodland greenery. A rest-house area with washrooms stands near the valley and visitors can enjoy trekking along the walking trails from the season of fresh green leaves through to the end of the season of red and yellow foliage. The valley is particularly famous as one of the most scenic foliage-viewing spots in Japan with many photographers visiting from both inside and outside of the prefecture. Enjoy a delightful drive through this landscape when the new leaves of spring are fresh and green or when the autumn beauty of the valley glistening with the red and yellow foliage of beeches, buckeyes, and maples is at its height.
