Lake Tazawa, located in Senboku City, Akita Prefecture, is the deepest lake in Japan. The mysterious lapis lazuli-colored surface of the water is a highlight. Lake Tazawa offers various sightseeing spots, including a sightseeing boat that circles the lake, the golden statue of Tetsuko, and the Gozaishi Shrine located on the lake's shores! Since the tents are set up on the surface of the lake, you can enjoy camping with a different sensation from camping on the ground.

A special experience of blending into nature at Lake Tazawa

In addition to water tents, Lake Tazawa is rich in nature, and you can enjoy tent saunas, SUP, and kayaking, which are becoming increasingly popular these days. We also recommend the "aerial tents," which can only be experienced here in the Tohoku region. Aerial tents are suspended from trees like hammocks and pitched in the air.
