From early morning on October 27th, 107 lucky people, randomly selected, arrived at Towada-Hachimantai National Park in Aomori Prefecture, northeastern Japan, to admire the carpet of oak trees turning orange and red as they cascaded down into the crystal-clear, mirror-like lake from observation decks around Lake Tsutanuma.
107 lucky visitors had the opportunity to admire the scenery of Lake Tsutanuma on the morning of October 27th.
An official from Japan's Ministry of the Environment said that Towada-Hachimantai National Park will implement visitor restrictions for six days, until next Tuesday, the time when the autumn foliage is at its most beautiful.
On October 27th, the number of visitors to Lake Tsutanuma was only about 30% of the usual annual visitor numbers. Parking spaces were also limited to only about 35 vehicles.
Lake Tsutanuma's crystal-clear waters reflect the vibrant carpet of golden-red oak trees.
Lake Tsutanuma is one of seven lakes in Aomori Prefecture. Located at the foot of Mount Hakkoda, it is renowned for its astonishingly clear water. The crystal-clear water acts like a mirror, reflecting the vibrant orange and red hues of the oak forest in autumn.
This area has always been an ideal spot for nature lovers to admire the golden autumn scenery of Japan, enjoy the fresh air, and observe the changing seasons.
