Bandai-Azuma Skyline
The Road that Runs Across the Sky

The Bandai-Azuma Skyline is a 29 km alpine road with a maximum elevation of 1622 m that winds through the Azuma Mountains west of Fukushima City. This scenic route is known as “the road that runs across the sky” and offers impressive panoramic views of Fukushima City and the surrounding areas. You can experience snow-lined corridors in early spring, a fiery display of multi-colored autumn leaves, hiking through sub-alpine forests, and an other-worldly volcanic landscape. The Bandai-Azuma Skyline captivates travelers from near and far with its breathtaking array of scenery.
