Okotanpe Lake is located in the southwest of Hokkaido, in the northern part of Lake Shikotsu. It is a volcanic dammed lake at the northwest foot of Mt. Eniwa and is part of Shikotsu-Toya National Park. Although it is a small lake with an elevation of 572 meters and a circumference of 5 kilometers, it has a strong alpine lake feel, surrounded by virgin forests of Yezo spruce and Todo fir. There is a road from the shore of Lake Shikotsu to the observation point, but the forest around Lake Okotanpe is designated as a forest ecosystem protection area, and entry without permission is prohibited. Traffic is suspended in winter due to snow accumulation. [Narabe Osamu] Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
