Nagasaka Ushiike
The calm lake surface, the cherry blossoms in full bloom, and the majestic view of the Southern Alps including Mt. Kaikoma are a magnificent sight.
Nagasaka Ushiike Pond
Nagasaka Ushiike is a small lake located in the middle of Nagasaka-cho, Hokuto. It's located a little off the road, so you can spend time in a quiet place that won't make you feel like you're in the middle of town. And a little-known spot.
A flock of ducks swimming happily on the surface of the lake, and Yoshino cherry trees planted around the lake.
During the cherry blossom season, you can enjoy the cherry blossoms while taking a leisurely stroll along the walking path and wooden deck built around the lake.
From the lake, you can see Mt. Kaikomagatake and Mt. Yatsugatake in the Southern Alps, and you can enjoy a spectacular view of the calm surface of the lake and the Yoshino cherry trees in full bloom.
At the end of the cherry blossom season, the petals that fall on the surface of the lake become a carpet of cherry blossoms, giving you a completely different atmosphere.
