Located in the Bandai-Asahi National Park, Goshiki-numa is a cluster of five\u00a0volcanic lakes\u00a0situated at the foot of\u00a0Mount Bandai\u00a0in Fukushima prefecture. Goshiki-numa formed when the Volcano Mount Bandai\u00a0erupted\u00a0on July 15, 1888, destroying dozens of villages while creating hundreds of lakes.<\/p>\n

The eruption imparted mineral deposits to the Five Colored Lakes giving each of them its own delicate color, ranging from reddish-green to\u00a0cobalt blue. The colors of each lake mysteriously fluctuate throughout the year with the weather. The different minerals and pH levels give the waters a number of striking colors. The weather and time of day provide even greater variation to these shades.<\/p>\n

There are approximately 30 marshes and lakes in total. The walking trail is a quintessential Japanese tourist spot and offers stunningly beautiful views of all five lakes along the 4km walking path from Lake Bishamon (the largest of the five lakes) to\u00a0Lake Hibara.\u00a0Colorful carp inhabit the waters of Bishamon; a large colorful lake with multi-colored koi fish. Rent a rowboat to experience the lake close up and feed the carp from the boat.<\/p>\n
