The most remarkable climatic feature of the region is the heavy winter snowfall, especially in the Tadami area in the southwest, where snow sometimes reaches 13 feet. During summer, you may see religious devotees climbing these revered mountains. Bandai Agatsuma Skyline Road, running through the park, offers a fine view. The nearest big cities include Yamagata, Niigata and Fukushima. There are campsites around Lake Inawashiro and elsewhere in the park.
Wildlife includes black bears, monkeys and antelopes.
