Lake Mashu is a heritage site of Hokkaido. This lake formed by a volcanic eruption is one of the lakes with the highest water transparency in the world. It is said that the water depth can be seen more than 30 meters. The lake is surrounded by cliffs and cliffs, often shrouded in mist. The water surface is blue and very quiet, as if entering a paradise. In Japan in the 1960s, there was a song called "Lake Mashu in the Mist" which was very popular. The locals also believe that those who see the sunny Mashu Lake without fog will think that the date of marriage will be far away; if the lovers see the sunny Mashu Lake together, they will break up; and their careers will not be successful, etc.

Mozhou Lake is one of the world's few mysterious lakes known for high transparency, and was recognized as Hokkaido heritage in 2001. The entire lake is like a mirror and has a deep calm color under the action of the surrounding crater lake.
In winter, I came to Hokkaido to see snow, lake, and clouds. Mozhou Lake is a Huokou Lake. It is very beautiful and very cold. When the wind blows, the sky is changeable. For a while, the blue sky and ㄧ will be gray. The blue sky is very beautiful. The wind-blown lake is sparkling. I don't know if the next second will come out of the water monster, very mysterious lake~
Mozhou Lake is also one of many volcanic lakes in Hokkaido. Other famous ones include Toya Lake, Zhizhu Lake, etc. The whole is because they are volcanic lakes and the landscapes of lakes and mountains are similar. Mozhou Lake is characterized by the north, which belongs to the area with a thinner population and less pollution. Add the high latitude climate characteristics, the lake water in many lakes is the clearest, has the world's first name, compared to the nearby Ahan Lake geology but there is no small difference, with the local legend, it is worth to play in depth.
To the road to the Ahan Lake National Park is inevitable to go, these attractions mainly include Ahan Lake, Quxiili Lake, Sulphur Mountain and Mozhou Lake. The biggest problem with these places is transportation. Chartered cars are of course the best choice, but the cost of renting a car in Japan is really expensive. If you don't want to rent a car, the bus and train are the best. But plan the itinerary, otherwise you will suffer. Starting in February in winter, it is more convenient to launch the Ahan tour bus or buy ecopass coupons. If it is December or January, there are no more trains. Traveling will be more troublesome. Personally recommend to play the road, or live in the road, take the road as a stronghold, and play in a few days. There are buses to these places, and you can buy tickets at the bus terminal next to the jr station of the road. You can also take the train to Mozhou Lake and Quxiili Lake. So I suggest that these places can be used for two days to play, one day in Ahan Lake, one day in Quxiili Lake, Mozhou Lake, and sulfur mountain. Here is the key point of how to play in three places such as Quxili Lake. Take the train from the railway to Chuantang Hot Spring Station, then call a taxi, 20 minutes. Take the taxi to visit the above three places, and then take the train back to the railway from the Mozhou station. If you only want to visit Mozhou Lake, then take the train from the road to Mozhou Station to get off. There is a special bus at Mozhou Station to reach Mozhou Lake. After the tour, you can return to Mozhou Station. Living in the biggest part of the road, in addition to the convenience of travel, you can also see the sunset of the coin dance bridge, the sunset here is known as one of the world's three major sunset cities. Also, there is a hot spring pool next to Mozhou Station, which can be waiting for the bus to be bubble feet, very comfortable.
Located in Quding, disciple of Kawabata Prefecture, Hokkaido, Mozhou Lake is obviously a natural lake formed by a volcanic crater. Mozhou Lake is famous for its fog. It seldom sees the scenery when it is sunny. In fact, in summer, there are nine fogs on ten days, but in late autumn or winter, sunny days are more common. We can see the true face of Mozhou Lake on sunny days.
The architecture here has a distinct style and framework. I would like to see the most transparent lake in Japan. Unfortunately, Tiangong is not beautiful, and the fog can't be dispersed. I can see foot bath next to it.
Located in the Alpine National Park, it is a natural lake with primitive features. The lake water temperature is very low, and it can not be launched in summer. In winter, large areas of the lake surface will freeze and the weather is extremely cold. Every lake surface wind, no matter how thick it is, will be blown through the heart. It is the extremely cold place I have experienced so far! However, everything is mutually exclusive, so cold. Hot springs are springing up everywhere. Many natural hot springs surge along the lakeside mountains, attracting swans, ducks, birds and so on to spend the winter here. It is the highest latitude winter habitat for migratory birds. No wonder it was included in the nature reserve early.
