Even though it's called a lake, it's actually formed by a dam. The cool summer weather makes it really comfortable to enjoy the natural surroundings.

Kazura Bridge (Fukui Prefecture)
Ikeda Town in Fukui Prefecture is surrounded by unspoiled nature and traditional rural scenery. Spanning the tree-lined Asuwa River is a rare suspension bridge made with kazura vines, measuring 44 meters (144 feet) long, 1.8 meters (5.9 feet) wide, and 12 meters (39 feet) high.
The surroundings feel very natural, with not too many man-made facilities, so the whole place has a simple, rustic vibe. It looks great in photos if you want something raw and untamed rather than dreamy.
It might be a bit challenging for older visitors or anyone afraid of heights. -
Sanuki Manno Park
Shikoku’s only national government park stretches along the shores of Manno Pond, Japan’s largest irrigation reservoir and a nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty. The approximately 865-acre grounds are filled with flowers, including tulips, nemophila, hydrangeas, and cosmos, which bloom from spring through fall. The park also offers plenty of active recreation, including large playground equipment for children, open lawns, bicycle rentals, and a dog park.
The lawn is beautiful and really clean.
Perfect for a walk, just zoning out, or having a picnic.There are flowers in spring and autumn leaves in fall, so if you come in the right season, it’s a big plus.
But the park is huge, so make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes, or your feet will complain first 😂 -
Mitsui Outlet Park Sapporo Kitahiroshima
One of the largest outlet malls in Hokkaido, this expansive complex brings together around 170 stores spanning a wide range of categories-from high-end fashion and well-known kitchenware brands to sports gear and drugstores.
It’s really huge and there are tons of brands.
You can easily end up spending half a day here without noticing.The layout is pretty easy to walk, and there are plenty of food options.
When you get tired, there are places to sit and rest.The discounts feel pretty good, especially for coats and sports brands — really worth it.
But when it gets crowded, it can feel quite packed, so I’d recommend coming on a weekday for a more comfortable visit.
