Leisurely enjoy the serene lake and surrounding greenery

About this spot

A lake in Sakutou district, Mimasaka City, surrounded by mountains with calm waterside areas spread throughout. A walking trail is maintained along the shore, making it perfect for leisurely strolls while gazing at the quiet water surface. Unlike urban fireworks festivals, spending an afternoon in this natural environment is uniquely rewarding. Enjoy the cool lake breeze while finding shade from the summer sun beneath the trees.

Tips

About 10 minutes by car from Emi Station. The lakeside path has soil and gravel, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Insects are active in summer, so insect repellent is helpful.

Best time to visit

Allow approximately 1 hour 30 minutes. The afternoon's strong sunlight makes the lakeside shade particularly pleasant.
