I visited Lake Akan in Hokkaido!

Lake Akan (Akan-ko) is a volcanic lake located in eastern Hokkaido and is part of Akan-Mashu National Park. It is known for its beautiful natural scenery and rich ecosystem, and is especially famous as the habitat of the rare algae called Marimo. Here are some features of Lake Akan. 1. Natural Beauty Lake Akan is surrounded by mountains such as Mount Akan Fuji (Mount Oakan) and Mount Meakan. The lake's water is highly transparent, allowing you to enjoy the scenery throughout the four seasons. Spring/Summer: Fresh greenery and clear lake water Autumn: The lake is colored by autumn leaves Winter: The lake surface freezes, creating a snowy landscape 2. Marimo Marimo is a rare algae that naturally grows only in Lake Akan and forms green spherical shapes. Marimo is also called the "Jewel of Lake Akan" and is designated as a Special Natural Monument of Japan. 3. Tourism and Activities Akan Lake Onsen: There is a hot spring town along the lake, attracting many tourists. Sightseeing Boats: You can enjoy the beautiful scenery by taking a cruise around the lake. Events: Every summer, the "Lake Akan Marimo Festival" and fireworks display are held. 4. Nature Conservation Lake Akan is a strictly protected area, and many efforts are made to protect the environment. When visiting, it is important to enjoy the natural beauty while being mindful of the environment. If you want to know more about Lake Akan, please let me know. I can also provide detailed information on tourism and access.
