Lake Miwa

This artificial lake is located about a forty-minute drive from Ina Interchange. Notable for its long and slender shape, the lake stretches from north to south. The area around the lake has a variety of facilities such as soccer pitches and athletic fields. It was created when the Mibu River was dammed for the purposes of flood control, irrigation, and hydroelectric power. The concrete gravity dam holds back a volume of water equivalent to about 24 Tokyo Domes. One of the area’s appeals is the different seasonal scenery of its many photogenic spots, whether it is views of cherry blossoms from the Miwa Dam parking lot in spring, fields of rice and vegetables in the summer, or frozen landscapes in the winter.
