Statue of Tatsuko

Visited in April with not many tourists around. The lake was so calm that you can really enjoy the moment by doing nothing the whole afternoon.

Good statue for having background photo along with Majestic lake water and snow mountain on backside. Definitely worth visiting for even though area is not so much developed for tourists. If coming by car, you can park it in nearby shopping area for as minimum as 200 JPY. But if you purchase some items from shop no parking fees.

Came on a late morning in autumn. Weather was gorgeous, absolutely beautiful lake, clear blue waters teeming with small trout. As others have said, not many amenities around, but a great place to come appreciate nature.

Good lake view. Lack of public facilities nearby.

It's just a statue. Would be nice if some of the local legends and stories about it were explained. Probably spent more time in the touristy shop nearby. There is also a shrine next to the statue, and the crow that was sat in the tree gained more interest from us than either the shrine or the golden lady combined. It's not terrible, but it's not amazing either.
