Lake Nukabira
"Ice Bubbles" - A rare experience to walk on the frozen lake surface
Surrounded by virgin forest, the lake is a man-made lake created by damming up a river during the construction of a dam in the past. Visitors can enjoy observing nature in each of the four seasons. It is also known as a fishing spot for rainbow trout and Japanese salmon in summer and for pond smelt in winter.
The "ice bubbles" that can be seen in winter are a beautiful natural phenomenon. Gases emitted from the bottom of the lake freeze in the water before reaching the lake's surface, creating a fantastic landscape of countless bubbles trapped in the ice. The countless white bubbles come in all sizes and look very mysterious. The luminosity and color of the lake's surface also differ depending on the weather and time of day, allowing visitors to enjoy a variety of different expressions.
