Gozan-ishi Shrine, located on the shores of Lake Tazawa in Akita Prefecture, is named after Lord Satake Yoshihiro of the Akita Domain, who rested on a stone here during a tour of the lake in 1650. The shrine is known for its vermilion torii gate and the "Seven-Colored Tree," which grows seven different types of wood from a single trunk. Visitors can explore the shrine grounds, enjoy the scenic views of Lake Tazawa, and learn about the local legends. The shrine is accessible by bus from Tazawako Station, making it a convenient stop for those touring the lake. Note that the shrine is closed during the winter months.
