A favorite location for photographers

Located in northeastern Iiyama, this mysterious lake is surrounded by mountainous terrain.  A favorite location for photographers, it is particularly lovely in spring, when cherry and canola blossoms are in full bloom. Because the lake is heart shaped, it’s also known as a popular destination for couples. The periphery of the lake is an easy walk, and the lake can also be crossed by boat. On the far shore, statues honor the 7 Deities of Good Luck.

During the August fireworks festival, fireworks are launched from boats on the water, and explosions echo in the surrounding mountain ranges. 

This is a great place for visitors who want to enjoy the best of the region’s natural environment.
