Sagami Lake Lakeside (Lakeside Festival Viewing Area) (相模湖畔(湖上祭観覧エリア))

Flow of the course

About this spot

The Sagami Lake lakeside in the evening is a beautiful time when the sun sets beyond the mountains and the lake surface changes colors moment by moment. Once you've secured your viewing spot, spread out your dinner procured from concession stands and food stalls, then leisurely await the opening. Even in the height of summer, the high-altitude mountain-surrounded lake becomes refreshingly cool in the evening—a pleasant sensation distinct from urban fireworks displays. The bustle of the lakeside festival food stalls is a unique enjoyment of this time of day.

Tips

The night can become colder than expected, so don't forget a light jacket. Since some areas along the lakeside have minimal lighting, a small light source is helpful for finding your way back.

Best time to visit

Allow approximately 2 hours. Be sure to witness the changing colors of the lake surface at dusk.
