Gozaisho-Numa Pond Walking Trail
The Gozaishonuma-Akanuma walking trail is a 1.5-kilometer-long hiking course that takes about 45 minutes one-way for an easy stroll. At the halfway point of the trail, there is the quiet "Gozaishonuma" and the beautiful "Akanuma," also known as "Goshikinuma," with small pavilions set up where visitors can take a break while enjoying the view of each pond. Why not spend a relaxing time while feeling nature?
As its alias "Goshiki-numa" suggests, Akanuma is a mysterious pond whose water changes color five times as the seasons change. In summer, the water changes from cloudy blue to bright blue and then to turquoise blue. In fall, it returns to cloudy blue again, and in winter and spring, it turns brown. This seasonal color change attracts many visitors.
