Lake Shumarinai

Lake Shumarinai is a relatively unknown destination, even among Japanese locals, offering a peaceful escape from typical tourist routes. The lake itself is artificial, but blends seamlessly with the surrounding natural beauty. Visitors are drawn to the refreshing air, the picturesque white birch forests, and the often-present snow, even in mid-May, creating a unique and tranquil atmosphere reminiscent of rural Scandinavia. It's an ideal location for those seeking solitude and natural beauty.
