Lake Toya

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lake Tōya (洞爺湖 Tōya-ko) is a volcanic caldera lake in Shikotsu-Toya National Park, Abuta District, Hokkaido, Japan. The main town is Tōyako Onsen (洞爺湖温泉), on the western shore.

There is also a smaller village called Toya-mura on the other side of the lake.

Lake Tōya is said to be the northern-most lake in Japan that never ices, and the second most transparent lake in Japan. Nakano-shima, an island in the middle of the lake, houses the Tōya Lake Forest Museum.
