Lake Okutama is so beautiful in fall that it’s hard to look away. The mountains are colored red, orange, yellow, and green by the autumn leaves, with the different shades overlapping like layers of fall colors spread across the forest.
Taking a sightseeing boat and enjoying the scenery from the lake offers a completely different perspective. The clear water reflects the colorful mountains on both shores, and as the boat moves slowly forward, the view keeps changing, with new scenery around every bend.
Compared with simply admiring the view from the shore, seeing the entire lake surrounded by red autumn foliage from the boat makes the grandeur of Lake Okutama in fall even more impressive.
