About Mount Bandai
Mount Bandai, "Bandai-san", is a volcanic peak which gives its name to part of theTohokuregion of Japan. The region is located at a large opening through the northern Japanese alpine ranges. The small towns of Inowashira and Aizu-Wakamatsu are on this low-lying area overlooked by Bandai-san. The area of Urabandai, literally "behind Bandai" means what it says: the alpine basin behind the volcano with many features formed by its eruption in 1888. Just to keep us all on our toes, Urabandai is also called Bandaikogen, meaning "Bandai plateau" and its main hub, Bandaikogen Eki is not an "eki" as in rail station.
