At Lake Tazawa, Japan's deepest lake with its lapis-blue waters, seeing the golden flying Tatsuko statue standing beside the clear lake, backed by layers of distant mountains, creates a poetic and legendary scene. Stroll along the lakeshore and visit the elegant, historic Gozanoishi Shrine, where old stone lanterns complement the tranquil lake and mountain scenery.

You can also buy fish food near the shrine and enjoy feeding the fish, experiencing the purity and vitality of the lake up close. Whether you stop to admire the vivid blue water or immerse yourself in the mysterious atmosphere of its legends, Lake Tazawa's natural beauty is truly refreshing!
