Lake Okotanpe
Located north of Lake Shikotsu and at the western foot of Eniwa, Lake Okotanpe is a dammed lake with a circumference of 5 km and a maximum depth of 21.2 meters. Along with Lake Shinonome near Lake Shikaribetsu and Lake Onneto near Lake Akan, it is considered one of Hokkaido's three great hidden lakes. Although the entire view of the lake is obscured by dense primeval forests, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the lake surface from the observatory on Route 78. Depending on the season, time of day, sunlight, and viewing angle, the color of the lake water changes to cobalt blue or emerald green. Lake Okotanpe has an enchanting and mysterious charm that captivates visitors.
