About this spot

Hayama Lake (はやま湖) in the evening is a beautiful time when the sun sets behind the mountain ridge and the color of the lake surface changes moment by moment. Spread out a takeout dinner and relax while securing a viewing spot for tonight's fireworks. This high-elevation mountain lake is known for turning cool from the evening onward, even in summer.

Tips

There are few restaurants in the area, so it's a good idea to arrange your meal in advance. It can get chillier than expected at night, so don't forget something to layer on.
