As Japan’s second-largest lake, this vast body of water is famous for its traditional "sail-towing boats" with massive white sails. A lakeside cycling road allows visitors to tour the shore while feeling the gentle breeze. The rich ecosystem, peaceful fishing scenes, and the golden reflection of the sunset on the water provide a deeply calming and scenic experience.
