Fukushima Live Cameras in Japan — 4 official webcams
Three monitored volcanoes — Azuma, Adatara and Bandai — plus Renge Marsh on the Urabandai side. Bandai appears twice: as a volcano under watch, and as a view across water.

Lake Renge and Mount Bandai
Kitashiobara, Fukushima · Nature
One of the lakes created by the 1888 eruption. Pond and mountain sit in the same frame, and the autumn colour layers up between them.

Sample August 2026
Mount Azuma
Fukushima / Yamagata border · Volcano
Crossed by the Bandai-Azuma Skyline. Oana crater near Jododaira still vents steam, and its activity rises and falls in cycles.

Mount Adatara
Fukushima · Volcano · Nature
Known from a poem by Kotaro Takamura. Numanotaira, west of the summit, is a bare crater floor — a completely different colour from the green around it.

Sample August 2026
Mount Bandai
Fukushima · Volcano · Nature
The 1888 eruption collapsed the north side, and the debris dammed the valleys into the Urabandai lakes. Front and back look like two different mountains.
When to watch
Renge Marsh is one of the lakes and ponds formed when the 1888 eruption of Mount Bandai dammed the rivers. Seeing one mountain through two cameras built for entirely different purposes — a Meteorological Agency monitoring camera and an Environment Ministry scenery camera — is a rare pairing even on this site.
Autumn colour runs from mid to late October, and because Urabandai reflects it off the water, a clear, still morning is the best time. In winter all three cameras go white, which if anything makes the shape of the ground clearer.
