Mount Bandai (磐梯山 Bandai-san) also known as Aizu-Bandai-san (会津磐梯山) Aizu-Fuji (会津富士) and Aizu-ne (会津嶺) is a stratovolcano in Fukushima Prefecture Japan.In a major eruption on July 15 1888 the north and east parts of the caldera collapsed in a massive landslide forming two lakes Hibara-ko and Onogawa-ko as well as several minor lakes called Goshiki-numa or the ‘Five Coloured Lakes’.The lake district formed by this cataclysm became known variously as Urabandai or Bandai-kōgen and has become a tourist destination.This last eruption was particularly tremendous and completely reshaped its vicinity.
