Green

Lake Towada typically sees the snow melt around May, and by June, the trees are adorned with young, bright-colored leaves, and many flowers bloom.

View from the observation station.Two peninsula looks like a dragon's head and a dragon's tail. It is where the god of TOWADAKO lives.

View from the HAKKA observation station. You can see the dragon stay on the clouds in June or July. It's not every day, it's from about 5 to 8 o'clock on a fine morning. It takes about 15 minutes from YASUMIYA village by a car.

It is a sight seeing ship of TOWADAKO. There is a course that departs from YASUMIYA and returns to YASUMIYA. And another course that departs from YASUMIYA to NENOKUTI(Near OIRASE stream).And the reverse course from NENOKUTI to YASUMIYA.

The transparency of Lake Towada is 10 meters. When you peer into the water from a boat, it feels like looking down from the height of a third floor.

TOWADAKO at the end of April. The mountain tree looks a little red.It is color of Katsura-tree flowers. Katsura-tree grow near water and this tree have sweet smell in the fall.

TOWADAKO in early May. Pink flower are wild cherry blossoms.

One day TOWADAKO. I didn't know the boundary between the lake and the sky. This is place of KATSURAGA-hama. If you have a bathing suit here is good place to swim.

The border of AOMORI and AKITA prefecure. The right side of the river is AOMORI, the left side is AKITA.

The temperature of Towadako's water is about 20 ℃ even in summer. It feels very good to swim in hot summer. I use to swim in Katsuraga-hama beach in summer vacation.

This is OTOME-statue.The author,”Kotaro Takamura”, expresses his wish for people to see the "Otome-Statue" standing in the primeval forest.Many visitors end up getting too close to the "Otome-Statue," and as a result, they miss the intended view by the author and leave disappointed. I find this to be a great waste.As the author wishes, the only way to see the "Maiden Statue" standing in the primeval forest is to view it from above the water. If you want to see this scene long times, I would recommend chartering a canoe or motor boat.

If you want to know the Otome-statu, you should go to "Platt". "Platt" is the information center of Towadako. There are Otome-statue explanation in English. Of course there are also good staff who speak English. They will always make your trip more enjoyable. You can also see alive Himemasu fish.
