Beautiful place, beautiful view, great weather, pure air and quiet place. Can give long time to appreciate But I recommend coming in the morning as it will be very beautiful and there aren't many people.

Great scenery with fogs floating on the lake. Breath-taking. Plenty of small shops and cafes in the area for a nice stroll!

Walking around Yufuin, you would might notice lots of running streams along the roads. Most of them lead to or came from this lake. It’s a tiny lake but still stunning nonetheless. The water was so clear and there’s always a slight hint of mist running on the surface. The main entrance is where all the tourists go through and can get quite crowded but if you walk around a little, you’ll get less busy but equally stunning areas.

A small lake which is visited by tourists. You can take a stroll around the lake. It has several good photo taking spots and views. Recommend to visit if you have the time and it's free.

We visited the lake for autumn leaves on November 13, 2023. There were many people and cars, but the views were amazing. Parking was a challenge due to the crowd and narrow streets. Going down to the bottom could get 400 yen per day, but we parked at 500 yen per hour before the congestion. There were also long lines for famous restaurants. As our purpose was to enjoy the scenic views and take photos, we were fine not fighting for a parking spot or a meal.
