Directions

The submerged railway track at Lake Shikaribetsu in Hokkaido, Japan, is a fascinating sight that draws visitors from all over. Once part of the now-defunct Shikaribetsu Line, this track was left behind when the area was flooded to create the lake. Now, it lies beneath the water's surface, creating an eerie yet beautiful scene that captures the imagination. People often come to explore the lake, especially during winter when the water level drops, revealing more of the track. It's a unique blend of nature and history, where the remnants of the past peek through the tranquil waters, inviting curiosity and wonder.
