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.
