Bandai-san volcano
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bandai-san is a volcano in Fukushima prefecture, Japan. In a major eruption in 1888 the north and east parts of the caldera collapsed in a massive landslide, forming two lakes, Hibara-ko and Onogawa-ko, as well as several minor lakes, the Goshikinuma or "five-coloured ponds". The lake district formed by this cataclasm became known variously as Urabandai or Bandai-kogen, and became a popular tourist destination.
