Shirakaba Lake

Really a good place to chill. The best view point be one along the Venus Line where you can watch the lake from above

Beautiful lake with about 4km circumference. A lot of recreational activities around- amusement park, canoe, swan boat, kayak, freshwater fishing and good running lane.

For 1500-2000 yen you can catch rainbow trout, bass and wakasagi(depending on the season).

Shirakaba craft beers are available at the Lawson convenience store.

wonderful place to see and get a slow life.

A highland resort for outdoor lovers

Lake Shirakaba is a mountain resort located at the base of Mt. Yashigamine, at 1500m above sea level. At its center is the lake which gives its name to the area, a 4km-long pool of water surrounded by birch trees.

Lake Shirakaba is a great spot to enjoy outdoor activities. A well-maintained jogging road runs along the length of the lake, there are bikes for rent to explore the grounds and you can find a canoe school and horse-riding facility.

In winter you can have fun in the snow in one of the 3 ski resorts of the area: Royal Hills Ski Resort, 2 in 1 Ski Resort and Ike no Taira Snow Park.

The resort is also a popular among families who can have fun at Ike no Taira Family Land, a local amusement park with plenty of attractions for small kids.

美ヶ原の帰りに車で通りました。
なんか、ヨーロッパの隠れたリゾート地みたいでどこか不思議な雰囲気が漂っていました。
別荘みたいなホテルが山にたくさんあったのも印象的でした。

2023年夏に避暑に訪問。茅野駅から30分強で到着、首都圏からアプローチがよい。さすがに夏でも涼しく、遊ぶものもたくさんあり、手ぶらでいっても楽しめます。

子連れに嬉しい観光リゾート地ですね！
湖を取り囲むように宿泊施設や遊園地、スキー場、美術館、お土産屋さんが並んでいます。

冬の凍った湖を初めて見ました！
今年は暖冬と言われているのに凍っててびっくりしました。
