Nishi-Azuma Sky Valley is a 17.8 km scenic route connecting the north shore of Lake Hibara in Fukushima Prefecture with Shirabu Takayu Onsen in Yamagata Prefecture. Formerly a toll road, it's now free to access. The road offers stunning views of Mount Bandai and Lake Hibara from Shirabu Pass, as well as waterfalls and valley scenery from the waterfall observation point. Be aware of continuous hairpin turns. Autumn is a particularly beautiful time to visit for the fall foliage. The road can be steep and winding, so drive carefully. There are small parking areas along the way, with a larger one at the summit.
