About this Attraction
Yunoko Lake (湯ノ湖), nestled in the Oku-Nikko region of Nikko National Park, Japan, is a tranquil mountain lake known for its serene atmosphere and natural beauty. Situated at an elevation of 1,478 meters above sea level, the lake offers breathtaking views surrounded by lush forests and majestic mountains. With a shoreline of approximately 3 kilometres, Yunoko Lake is perfect for leisurely walks, peaceful moments of reflection, and nature photography. The area is especially popular among anglers, as Yunoko Lake is renowned for its excellent trout fishing. The fishing season typically runs from May 1st to September 30th, attracting local and international fishing enthusiasts eager to catch rainbow trout, brook trout, and other species in its pristine waters.
Yunoko Lake is not only a destination for fishing but also an excellent spot for visitors seeking a quiet retreat from the busier areas of Nikko. The nearby Yumoto Onsen hot spring resort provides the perfect place to relax after a day outdoors, offering soothing mineral-rich baths surrounded by mountain scenery. In autumn, vibrant fall foliage enhances the beauty of the lake, making it an ideal spot for seasonal sightseeing. Visitors can also enjoy hiking trails that connect Yunoko Lake to other natural attractions in Oku-Nikko, such as Yudaki Falls and Senjogahara Marshland.
