The cobalt blue lake surface is beautiful

#springwander The deepest lake in Japan boasts a water depth of 423.4 m. The lake, which has a breathtakingly beautiful cobalt blue surface, is a scenic spot in Akita Prefecture, which has been selected as one of the 100 scenic spots in Japan. In 2022, the moon on Lake Tazawa was certified as Japan's 100th of the Best Month, adding even more charm. The surface of the lake, which is reflected in the colour of the sky depending on the time, is red in the evening and purple at sunset, is worth one. On the lakeside with a circumference of about 20 km, there are tourist attractions such as historical attractions and historical sites. Among them, the "Tatsuko Princess Legend", which has been handed down in Lake Tazawa for a long time: The golden-coloured "Tatsuko Statue" made based on it is famous. There are also spots where you want to stop by "Mozaishi Shrine", which has many attractions, such as a 450-year-old sacred tree and the "Ryosen of Katato", which is said to be a dragon after drinking it. The beautiful contrast between the red torii and the cobalt blue of the lake is worth seeing.
