📍 [Lake Towada, Aomori] A place of tranquility and emotion where a mysterious lake and art resonate

Lake Towada, which straddles Aomori and Akita prefectures, is one of the most scenic spots in the Tohoku region, with a highly transparent surface that is unique to caldera lakes. Many people visit the lake to see the Maiden Statue that stands on the lakeside and the Oirase Gorge that connects to the lake, and the seasonal scenery is soothing to the soul.

Artworks are displayed in harmony with the nature of the lakeside, and there are also boat rides and cafes where you can enjoy a quiet time. The blue skies of summer, the autumn leaves, and the scenery reflected on the water surface leave visitors with an unforgettable impression.
