Visit Lake Gassan to witness Japan's tallest fountain, reaching an impressive height of 112 meters. The fountain operates several times a day between late April and early November, offering a spectacular display against the backdrop of the lake. Located near the Gassan Lake Water Culture Center along National Route 112, it's easily accessible from the Gassan Interchange on the Yamagata Expressway. While the best views are from the observation area, catching a glimpse while driving by is also possible. Be sure to check the schedule for the fountain's operation times to make the most of your visit. The area also offers opportunities to explore local shops and enjoy regional treats.
