Yaginuma is a serene pond located near the Urabandai Highlands Station in Fukushima Prefecture, making it easily accessible for visitors. As part of the Goshikinuma (Five Colored Ponds), Yaginuma offers picturesque views and is known as the highest in elevation among the ponds. It's a short walk from the Urabandai Local Products Center, featuring diverse flora and fauna, including fish like rainbow trout and Japanese smelt due to its lower acidity. Ideal for a quick visit, Yaginuma provides a tranquil spot to appreciate the natural beauty of Urabandai, especially beautiful during the autumn foliage season. You can start here for an easier hike, going downhill towards the other ponds.
