Shirakoma-ike Pond

A mysterious lake filled with Shimizu in the vast primeval forest of Kita-yatsugatake. It is Japan's largest natural lake as a lake with an altitude of 2,100m or more, and is famous as a gateway to climbing and trekking at Hidemine Yatsugatake. In spring, snow can be seen late in May, and Iwagami with pretty pink flowers informs the arrival of late spring, and even if you do not climb the steep alpine mountains until late autumn when Nanakamado bears red fruits, you can easily see the changing seasons woven by nature. You can walk to Shirakoma Pond in about 15 minutes on foot from the parking lot along National Route 299.
