Lake Ryuhime is a man-made lake created by the construction of the Omoi Dam and is selected as one of the "Top 100 Dam Lakes." The name "Ryuhime Lake" comes from the legend of the "Great Serpent of E-no-fuchi," a local tale about a serpent (dragon) that transformed into a princess. Visitors can enjoy various facilities around the lake, including Hotel Omoi Springs (offering day-trip hot springs), a multipurpose plaza, a children's playground, an observation deck, restaurants, and lodges. It's a great place to relax and spend a day surrounded by nature, especially beautiful during the autumn foliage season. The lake offers refreshing breezes and scenic views, making it ideal for cycling and leisurely walks.
