    Lake Tazawa is so beautiful, I couldn’t help but stay a little longer 💙

    The water has a dreamy cobalt blue color and is so clear it looks like it has a filter on it. No wonder it’s known as Japan’s deepest lake. The weather was great that day, and the sunlight sparkling on the lake, with the mountains in the background, made every random photo look amazing.

    There isn’t much noise or bustle here. Just quietly taking in the lake view made the trip feel extra relaxing and totally worth it.
