Lake Shirakoma, nestled in the vast primeval forests of Northern Yatsugatake, is a mystical lake known for its crystal-clear waters. In autumn, the lake is framed by vibrant red foliage, creating a stunning spectacle. Easily accessible from the Yachiho Kogen IC or the JR Koumi Line, the lake is a short walk from the parking area or bus stop. Visitors can enjoy leisurely strolls around the lake, explore the enchanting moss-covered forests, and even take a boat ride. Be sure to wear appropriate footwear for the well-maintained walking paths and bring a light jacket, as temperatures can be cool even in summer. The best time to visit is during the early morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds and fully appreciate the serene atmosphere.
