初めて見たときは、その風景に驚きました。朝早くにモヤっとした感じも、夜の風景も素敵です。トイレは2km先にある水交園近くに洋式のトイレ🚽がありますので我慢😣したりせず行きましょう。野💩、野⛲️などは環境によろしくありません😅

(Translated by Google) When it's cold, it becomes hoarfrost. Also, the night sky in winter is incredibly beautiful. You can see stars (around 4th magnitude stars) even when the vending machine is lit. (Original) 寒い時は霧氷になります。 また、冬の夜空はとんでもなく綺麗です。自販機の灯りのある所でも星が(4等星ぐらい)見えます。

It was my first time to visit a natural lake located in a remote part of Otaki Village. Is it a naturally formed lake as the name suggests? It was an indescribably wonderful scenery of natural beauty. There was a restriction line on the road in front of me, so I entered by filling in my name, phone number, and license plate. It seems to be a limited time offer until the 8th of Golden Week.

I went on November 8th, but it was windy, so I couldn't get a mirror effect, and the leaves had already turned red. November was too late. However, it seems that you will be able to see fantastic scenery in the coming seasons as well. However, it is a very cold region. The few gas stations will also close early. I hope you have a full tank of gas and warm clothing. There were also good public toilets and a park in the village 2km away.

A place I personally wanted to visit✨ Earth and sand caused by the Western Nagano Prefecture Earthquake A natural lake created by a collapsed dam❗️ Water accumulated in what was once a forest, creating the current It seems that the standing trees have become a beautiful place✨ Because of the clean water that flows from the deep mountains. Newt🦎Rainbow Trout🐟Amago🐟Ayu🐟 Trout🐟Char🐟Yamame🐟Smelt🐟 A wide variety of carp 🐟 carp 🐟 etc. Aquatic creatures are also swimming gracefully♪ You can also go fishing if you pay a fee🉑 Canoe touring 🛶 is also available at this lake. While doing this, I can feel the pleasant breeze. You can also take a walk on the water in a canoe❗️ On the way there were monkeys🐒 and bears🐻 Please be careful when cycling or walking as it will appear❗️🤚

カルデラ湖のように木々をぬって、カヌーを楽しむことができます。湖面に木々が写り、色鮮やかだったり様々な風景が見れます。王滝村の中でも、ほんとうに素晴らしい場所です。

(Translated by Google) A lake that suddenly appears when you run on a narrow forest road. Dead trees extend from the surface of the lake, creating an atmosphere like a blue pond in Hokkaido. The color of the water is green. It seemed that they were also doing canoeing classes. I think it's a good place to visit if you ever come to this area. (Original) 狭い林道を走っていくと忽然と現れる湖。枯木が湖面から伸びていて北海道の青い池のような雰囲気。 水の色はグリーンですが。 カヌー教室などもやっているようでした。 この辺りに来る事があるならよってみてもよい場所だと思います。

It's a nice and quiet place, but the way it's photographed makes it look better than it actually is. It was about 20km deep into the mountains from the center of the village, and I was not impressed enough to have to go all the way down a narrow road with some difficult passages along the way. We were able to park about 5 cars on the roadside.

爺やの車で訪問しましたわ。 THE•自然という感じがしましたわ。 自然湖という名にふさわしい景勝地ですわね。 野生のお猿さんが出てきたので怖くなって帰りましたわ。 きっと動物たちも住み良い場所だと思っているのでしょうね。

It's a long way to get here, and the map on my smartphone says "no signal" on the way. It becomes. However, since the GPS is active, I was a little worried for a moment, but as I continued running, I noticed falling rocks and monkeys rolling around. When I thought I saw something that looked like a bridge, there were several cars parked there. There were about 5 or 6 parking spaces, and I think they were probably people who came for canoeing. That means that if there were a lot of canoeing cars, you wouldn't be able to park, so if you go a little further and go through the tunnel, I think there was a space on the left side where you could park. It was a scenery, but the world that I could not see in my daily life was expanding. I think your stay will take less than 30 minutes, even if you slowly cross the bridge, go down, go under the bridge, and come back up. I thought it was worth the time it took to burn the fuel, but some people may think it's not worth it.

I came here because it was used for a music video shoot by my favorite artist (Sandaime J Soul Brothers). I wanted to take a canoe nature tour, but I was told that reservations were required at least 3 days in advance, so this time I only looked at it from the shore. It is a very mysterious and quiet natural lake. I can't go by public transportation, so I drive in my own car. There are some narrow roads along the way that make it difficult to pass each other, so be careful.

Visited in December 2023 As expected, canoes were not open at this time of year, but I wanted to relax and float on the lake. There are about 3 places where you can park your car, and it doesn't seem to be too crowded, so you don't have to worry about parking.

(Translated by Google) The water was muddy than when I came eight years ago ❗ But it's a fantastic view that can't be seen anywhere else! ️ (Original) 8年前に来た時より水が濁っていました❗しかし幻想的で他ではなかなかみられない景色です‼️

I casually stopped by the lake because I had heard that it freezes over in the winter, but since there were people fishing for smelt, my fear faded and I walked around on the frozen surface of the lake. It was good to go!

A very beautiful place, like a condensed version of Kamikochi Taisho Pond. Next time I want to go on a canoe ride.

Visited on Friday, February 2, 2024. Although it was thin in some places, I was able to walk on the lake. Please be careful as this is an area where 📱 radio waves cannot reach!

(Translated by Google) I was able to go special only during Golden Week. It seemed that I couldn't usually go because of the disaster work. It was a very quiet lakeside. It seemed like I could canoe. (Original) GWの間のみ特別に行くことができました。普段は災害工事の影響で行けないっぽかったです。とても静かな湖畔でした。カヌーが出来るようでした。

Healed by nature

It was far. But it was good~

カヌーをしに行きました 当日の朝は霧がかかっていて幻想的な風景になっていました。 カヌーと運ぶのに歩くのはちょっと距離がありました。

(Translated by Google) I arrived at the small signboard as a guide. I used my smartphone's navigation, but I had to be careful because I couldn't receive radio waves in the natural lake and I couldn't reset the navigation in the natural lake. (Original) 小さな看板を目安に辿り着きました。 スマホのナビを使って行きましたが、自然湖では電波が届かなくなり自然湖でナビの再設定が出来ないので、気をつけないとです。

(Translated by Google) The road to get there is a little tough, but if you want to see this view, you have no choice but to go. (Original) 行くまでの道のりは少し大変ですが、この景色を見るためなら行くしかありません。

(Translated by Google) I was surprised to find that the road leading to this place was pretty clean, but I can imagine the hardships of the people in the village because the road had been closed for a long time. Natural lake, wild and beautiful I was surprised by the big bell to avoid bears (Original) ここにたどり着くまでの道はかなりきれいになっていて驚きましたが、それまでに通行止めが長かったので集落の人たちの苦労が想像できます 自然湖、荒々しくて美しかったです 熊避けの大きな鐘には驚きました

(Translated by Google) Visited around 2022/10/31 12:00 A lake surrounded by mountains. Early morning may be better as the angle of light hit is limited. (Original) 2022/10/31 12:00頃訪問 山に囲まれた湖。光の当たる角度が限られてるので早朝がいいかもしれない。
