Lake Kameyama
A lake in the Boso Peninsula’s secluded retreat area where you can enjoy fishing, camping, and seasonal outdoor fun all year round.
This is the largest dam lake in Chiba Prefecture, formed by Kameyama Dam completed in 1980, and it’s also known as a famous getaway spot in the Boso Peninsula. In a lush natural setting, the surrounding area is developed with campgrounds and a lakeside park.
It’s also well known as a bass fishing spot, and on weekends many anglers gather here. There are boat houses around the lake, so it’s recommended not only for fishing but also for boating and more.
At night, you can see a sky full of stars overhead, like a planetarium. It’s the perfect place to get away from the city and enjoy nature.
The recommended season is from around mid-November to early December, when the lakeside fall colors are at their best. As the trees turn, you can enjoy vivid, beautiful scenery. The Kameyama Autumn Festival is also held in November, and many people visit the dam for fall foliage sightseeing by cruise boat and a hiking event.
A fireworks festival is also held in September. Extra-large fireworks light up the sky and the lake every year.
