While it's not a must-visit, if you have some time and you want a bit of exercise, you can walk around this lake with fantastic views in autumn.

About:

The Sakamoto Dam Parking Lot at Lake Usui is a convenient spot to start your adventure with easy access to the picturesque red iron bridge and walking path around the lake, it's the perfect place to capture stunning fall foliage photos. While public transportation is limited, driving or taking a leisurely walk along the Apt Road from Yokokawa to Kumanodaira stations are great options to reach this hidden gem.
