Lake Onneto, Hokkaido

Located in Akan-Mashu National Park, Lake Onneto is a breathtaking sight that appears to change colors with the seasons, weather and angle from which it is viewed. Its name means “the elderly marsh” in the Ainu language, and it is known as one of Hokkaido’s top three “secret” lakes. The note on my film photograph says the color of the water was just amazing.

A lovely photograph, I always wonder what kind of fish may be living in there.

Coming upon the lake surrounded by the dull winter trees would be an amazing experience. Your photo has kept that blue after all these years.

The water looks like the Caribbean. So blue. This scene must be stunning in the Fall.
