Lake Shikotsu in Hokkaido has clear, deep-blue water and is surrounded by mountains. The scenery is really peaceful. Standing by the lake with a gentle breeze and looking at the calm water made me feel completely relaxed.
The scenery at Lake Shikotsu has a distinctly Hokkaido feel. There aren't too many noisy crowds, so it feels more natural and tranquil. Even just walking along the lakeshore and taking photos felt very worthwhile.
Although this was only a short visit, it left a wonderful impression on me. If I have the chance to visit Hokkaido again, I'd like to come back on a day with better weather and fully enjoy the beautiful lake and mountain scenery.
