Recommended Scenic Spots Around Lake Tazawa

Must-visit attractions in Lake Tazawa, Akita Prefecture, Tohoku: Lake Tazawa is Japan's deepest lake, known for its crystal-clear, vibrant blue waters and picturesque scenery throughout the year. Whether you choose to drive, take the lake bus, enjoy a boat ride, or rent a bicycle for a leisurely exploration, the stunning views around the lake are worth experiencing. ✓ Ukiki Shrine This unique shrine dedicated to driftwood is small yet exquisite, set against the backdrop of the lake's clear blue waters. It's a favorite spot for photographers. Built on a base of pebbles and concrete, supported by elevated wooden beams, the shrine creates an optical illusion of floating on the water when viewed from the road towards the lake, earning it the nickname "Floating Shrine." ✓ Tatsuko Statue On the shores of Lake Tazawa stands a golden statue of a woman known as "Tatsuko Statue," a popular photo spot for social media enthusiasts. The reflection on the lake adds to its charm. According to legend, a girl named Tatsuko wished for eternal beauty but was transformed into a dragon and became the lake's deity. The statue was erected to commemorate this tale. ✓ Gozaishi Shrine One of the well-known attractions along Lake Tazawa's shores, this shrine is dedicated to Tatsuko, the dragon goddess of the lake. It was previously known as "Dragon Shrine." Its highlight is the large vermilion torii gate by the lake, creating a striking contrast with the vibrant blue waters, making it a perfect spot for photography.
