Lake Ruri is a mystical lake within the Goshikinuma (Five Colored Ponds) area, known for its captivating deep blue color. This unique hue is attributed to the presence of aluminum silicate and Ukamikamago moss in the water. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Mount Bandai as a backdrop from the observation deck. The lake's high transparency, comparable to Lake Mashu in Hokkaido, makes it a must-see. The best time to visit is during autumn to witness the stunning collaboration of colorful foliage and Mount Bandai. Access is via a nature trail, so comfortable shoes are recommended.
