Mikata Five Lakes
The Mikata Five Lakes are located across Mihama Town and Wakasa Town in Fukui Prefecture. They lie within Wakasa Bay Quasi-National Park and collectively refer to five lakes-Lake Mikata, Lake Suigetsu, Lake Suga, Lake Kugushi, and Lake Hyuga. The area is also designated as a National Place of Scenic Beauty. From Lake Hyuga, which connects to Wakasa Bay, to Lake Mikata, the most inland of the five, each lake differs in water type (freshwater, seawater, and brackish water) as well as depth.
The lake views look totally different depending on the angle, and each lake has its own color too. It’s pretty amazing.
