The Lake of Kussharo in winter has a pure beauty. The snow covered the hues of the surrounding mountains, the lake was frozen, and only ink was left between the heavens and the earth. As the second largest crater lake in the world, the rich geothermal heat has distributed many hot springs along the lake. It is the warmth of this ice that attracts more than 500 swan to spend the winter here.
We came to the hot springs at the lake at 6 am. The rolling snow-capped mountains have not yet awakened, and the white water vapor is floating on the narrow lake without ice. The whole world presents an attractive blue. A big swan didn't know what time it had already flown here, swimming, fake, and the orange-colored mouth was cut through the mist. There is a feeling of loneliness and sorrow between the heavens and the earth.
When the third swan appeared, the sun had already passed through the entire Kussha Lake, and the big swans flew in groups from the jungle across the lake. They are flying almost on the frozen lake, bending and hovering as they approach the hot springs, and slashing the tranquility of the Kussharo Lake in an elegant posture. You can buy popcorn that the big swan loves in the visitor center. When they get the "maximum reward", they will flap their wings and play, sing high songs and soar above the snowy peaks under the blue sky as a reward for people.
The most enjoyable is the dusk on the lakeside. The visitors are far away and there is no flaw. Sitting in the open-air Gudan Hot Springs, wearing a bath towel, facing the rolling snow-capped mountains, guarding the gentle sunset, drinking pure sake, watching the sky being dyed into blush, the last big swan reluctantly came ashore, started, Flying, screaming, and plunging into the last evening of the other side.

Lake Kussharo is the largest crater lake in Japan. The lake is calm, so there are many water activities. In addition to fishing in the lake, canoeing on the lake is the most popular sport! A pair of two rowed on the crystal clear lake to see the verdant green tunnel in summer, the red maple along the coast in autumn, and the sparkling transparent lake in winter, decorated with frosted flowers and decorated with trees along the coast. White through the foggy ice, like coming to the fantasy world of Frozen reality!
Nakajima floating in the center of the lake is the largest freshwater lake island in Japan. It is a very popular resort for camping, speedboating, surfing and other water sports. In winter, the lake will freeze, but due to the high geothermal heat, part of the ice will melt and turn into hot springs. Therefore, hundreds of swans will rest here every year, feasting the eyes of visitors. To
I have always known that Lake Kussharo is great, but I don't know that Lake Kussharo can be beautiful in winter. Due to the extreme temperature difference between the hot spring water and the temperature of minus 29 degrees, a fairy white mist has been floating on the surface of the water, and the branches on both sides are covered with mist, which has the feeling of thousands of trees and pear blossoms. It is recommended to take a canoe to tour the lake. I hear the gurgling water and the cheerful chirping of birds, and I see a dreamy wonderland in front of me. Although my hands and feet are not good enough, I still feel that it is worthwhile.
The highlight of Lake Kussharo is the Son of God Pond. Surrounded by virgin forest, it is quiet and peaceful. At the bottom of the royal blue pond, a lot of spring water gushes out, which is also clearly visible from the ground. The fallen wood sinks in the azure blue water like a fossil, will not rot for a long time, and exudes an incredible and mysterious beauty.
[Scenery] The scenery of Lake Kussharo gives people a cruel and unforgiving feeling, but it is also yearning, as if it is a fairyland on earth, that is the end of the world and a fairyland on earth. [Fun] The transportation is relatively inconvenient, so there are fewer people going to it. It is not the place where internet celebrities check in. This is enough to make me yearn for it, and it is also known as the secret of Hokkaido, hehe [Value for money] The temperature here is very low. If you want to go, remember to wear more and bring some warm items.
