    Gunma Pref. Annakashi Matsuidamachisakamoto
    "Lake Usui is a man-made lake that was created when the confluence of the Nakao River and the Usui River was dammed by the construction of the Sakamoto Dam; it is located around 10 minutes' drive from Yokokawa Station on the JR Shinetsu Line. The lake is surrounded by state-owned forest, and presents a beautiful appearance at any time of year; it is particularly spectacular in autumn, when the autumn foliage of the surrounding trees is reflected in the Lake. There is a roughly 1.2 kilometer long footpath around the lake, which takes approximately 20 minutes to walk round. Lake Usui is situated part-way along the ""Apt Road,"" a hiking path that follows the route of a disused railway line. The bright red bridge that crosses the Lake was constructed as an arched bridge."

    中山道より脇道のそれると湖畔の駐車場にたどり着く事出来ます。舗装された駐車場と整備されたトイレがあり、景色も良くドライブ中の休憩地としては最適だと思います。

  • Lake Suganuma
    Travel / Tourism
    Gunma Prefecture Tone County Katashina village
    This is a lake surrounded by virgin forests on the Gunma Prefecture side of Oze National Park in Katashina Village. The lake was formed by lava flow from Mt. Nikko-Shirane damming the lake. As the water depth increases the water color changes from emerald green to indigo and the water has one of the highest degrees of transparency in Japan. The vivid contrast of the green color of the trees from early summer to summer, and the reds and yellow hues of the leaves in autumn reflecting on the lake’s surface are spectacular. The lake is also known in Japan as one of the few at an altitude 1,731 meters. There is also a campsite by lake, and visitors can enjoy canoeing experiences as well.
