Urabandai in Summer
From late spring to summer, the Urabandai landscape turns a lush green, but stays relatively cool, making the region ideal for hikes in the mountains or walks in the shaded areas around the plentiful lakes and ponds. Seasonal highlights include bright yellow daylilies that bloom from late June to early July and azaleas that bloom in mid-June around the wetlands surrounding lake, Oguninuma.
One of the most popular hikes during the warmer months is the short walk to Onogawa Fudo Falls. The area around the falls is well shaded and the rushing water enhances the cooling-off experience.
