Lake Tazawa
Lake Tazawa is the deepest lake in Japan at 423.4m deep. The lake, with its breathtakingly beautiful cobalt blue surface, is a scenic spot in Akita Prefecture, selected as one of the 100 most scenic spots in Japan. In 2022, the moon rising over Lake Tazawa will be recognized as one of Japan's 100 Most Beautiful Moons, adding even more charm to the lake.
Lake Tazawa is a dreamy spot, with clear, deep blue water made even more captivating by the surrounding mountain scenery〜 The lakeside also has distinctive landmarks such as the Statue of Tatsuko and Gozanoishi Shrine. It's a great place for a walk, admiring the mountain mist, and enjoying the peaceful, soothing natural scenery.
