A volcano wearing a toll road. Azuma-Kofuji sits beside the asphalt like a drawing, then Jōdodaira, then the descent to Takayu. Short. Exact.
Top highlights
- High altitude1,705 m
- Azuma-KofujiThe little Fuji. Walk the crater rim if the gate is open.
- JōdodairaThe high rest. Bandai across the bowl on a clear morning.
- Road qualityToll, seasonal, excellent tarmac. Closes in winter and after volcanic alerts. Fog on the crater rim. The bus to Jōdodaira shares the road.
- PermitsToll at the gates. Check the Bandai-Azuma Skyline opening — it shuts for snow and for the mountain.
