During the winter, you can take ski lessons or join the locals in cross-country ski hikes or snowy nature observation tours. For some of the best views of Mt. Bandai, you could also try the 3.6 km cycling road stretching parallel to the north side of Lake Inawashiro; take a leisurely ride and enjoy the wind coming from the lake!

Other spots of interest in the park are the Future Plaza with its enormous sundial, the Rockery, a rock garden utilizing volcanic rocks and offering an overview of the alpine region’s vegetation and the National Tree-planting Ceremony Commemoration Monument; besides celebrating the 21st National Tree-planting Ceremony which was attended by the Emperor, the monument is at a location offering an unbroken view of Inawashiro.
