View from the HAKKA observation station. You can see the dragon stay on the clouds in June or July. It's not every day, it's from about 5 to 8 o'clock on a fine morning. It takes about 15 minutes from YASUMIYA village by a car.

It is a sight seeing ship of TOWADAKO. There is a course that departs from YASUMIYA and returns to YASUMIYA. And another course that departs from YASUMIYA to NENOKUTI(Near OIRASE stream).And the reverse course from NENOKUTI to YASUMIYA.

TOWADAKO at the end of April. The mountain tree looks a little red.It is color of Katsura-tree flowers. Katsura-tree grow near water and this tree have sweet smell in the fall.

TOWADAKO in early May. Pink flower are wild cherry blossoms.

One day TOWADAKO. I didn't know the boundary between the lake and the sky. This is place of KATSURAGA-hama. If you have a bathing suit here is good place to swim.

The border of AOMORI and AKITA prefecure. The right side of the river is AOMORI, the left side is AKITA.

The temperature of Towadako's water is about 20 ℃ even in summer. It feels very good to swim in hot summer. I use to swim in Katsuraga-hama beach in summer vacation.

This is OTOME-statue . The author said that this statue stands in a primitive forest, but it not be seen from ground. Many people see this statue from the ground and return back. It's very wasteful.The only way to see this statue standing in the primitive forest is to look from above the water. If you want to see this scene long times, I would recommend chartering a canoe or motor boat.

If you want to know the Otome-statu, you should go to "Platt". "Platt" is the information center of Towadako. There are Otome-statue explanation in English. Of course there are also good staff who speak English. They will always make your trip more enjoyable. You can also see alive Himemasu fish.
