There is a short trail around the lake of roughly 30~60 minutes. You can also hike to a high ground next to Takami-ishi mountain cabin for top down views of the lake and its surrounding which will extend the hike to around 2 hours.

In Mononoke Forest, visitors can immerse themselves in the mystical world of Studio Ghibli's Princess Mononoke. The forest is filled with towering trees, hidden shrines, and magical creatures inspired by the iconic film. Guests can explore the lush greenery, encounter spirits of the forest, and feel like they've stepped into a real-life fantasy adventure.
