Lake Inawashiro

Lake Inawashiro is Japan's fourth largest lake, boasting a vast area of approximately 100 square kilometers. With its high transparency, it is also known as "Tenkyoko," which means "Mirror of Heaven," and features a beautiful lake surface that reflects the sky. In spring, visitors can enjoy a magnificent view of Mount Bandai along with cherry blossoms from the lakeside. In summer, activities like swimming and camping abound, while autumn showcases a stunning display of colorful leaves mirrored on the water's surface. In winter, swans migrate to the lake, and the unique natural formation known as "shibuki ice" is particularly popular. Along the lakeshore, there are scenic spots such as the "Showa no Mori" observation area, and sightseeing boats can be enjoyed year-round. The surrounding area also offers ranches, hot springs, and stylish cafes, providing a wide range of experiences from active adventures to relaxing moments.
