[2025 Abashiri Attraction] Travel Guide for Lake Notoro (Updated May)

Coral grass colony at Lake Notoro in Abashiri, Hokkaido. Although it is only seasonal, the red leaves of coral grass are beautiful on the shores of Lake Notoro. The leaves change color around September. When I visited in late August, there was only a little color, but if you are going, try to go in September. There is also a parking lot. #famousflowers #JapanGenkiProject2021 #summertrip#greatview

Lake Notoro (のとろこ) is a lake located in Abashiri, Hokkaido, Japan. Here are some of its features and attractions: 1. Characteristics as a Salt Lake Lake Notoro is known as a salt lake, not a freshwater lake. It is connected to the Sea of Okhotsk, so the lake water contains salt. This creates a unique landscape where lake water and sea water mix. 2. Seasonal Scenery Spring & Summer: Various wildflowers bloom around the area, allowing you to enjoy the natural beauty. Autumn: From September to mid-October, the coral grass (Akkeshi-so) around the lake turns a vibrant red, creating a 'crimson carpet' that attracts many tourists.

Rich Ecosystem and Nature Lake Notoro is home to a diverse range of wildlife. It is especially known as a bird-watching spot, where you can enjoy various bird species throughout the seasons. In this way, Lake Notoro is a tourist spot with different attractions throughout the year.

🌟A movie 'If You Are the One' has shown the beauty of Hokkaido, the northernmost part of Japan, to the world, and the stunning beauty of Cape Notsuke in Abashiri is fascinating. ❤Cape Notsuke is located at Notoro Cape, about 10 kilometers north of Abashiri City. Notoro is a cape that juts into the Sea of Okhotsk. 'Notoro' comes from the Ainu language not-oro (not-oro = at the cape or place). 🧳At the top here, there is only a lighthouse and a local management office. At one end of the cliff's cape, there is an octagonal Western-style black and white striped 'Cape Notsuke Lighthouse' (built in 1917). The lighthouse is about 21 meters tall, and Cape Notsuke is famous for its spectacular views, which can be enjoyed all year round. Behind it, Lake Notsuke is known for its autumn coral grass, but in the dead of winter, you can enjoy the spectacular scenery of the nearby drift ice. Walking to the very top, you can experience the incredible scene of being almost 360 degrees surrounded by drift ice. 👍Standing on Cape Notsuke, to the west you can see Lake Notsuke and the coast of Konan Town in Kitami City, and to the east you can see the distant Shiretoko Mountain Range. The vast panorama itself is a magnificent landscape, and the Chinese movie 'The Way to Get the Targeted Love' (original title: 'If You Are the One'), starring Noriko Sakai in 'The Antarctic Cook' and Sayuri Yoshinaga in 'The Cherry Blossom Guardian of the North', were all filmed here. In addition, it is also the location for the filming of an aviation advertisement by a famous idol group and the famous Toyota Prius advertisement. 🖼The coral reef area around Wild Bird Cape is also a habitat for seals. Having binoculars would be perfect when touring the cape. From mid-May to mid-October, cows and horses graze near the lighthouse at the Abashiri City Misaki Farm. In winter, the drift ice contacts the coast, making it the best spot to view the drift ice. 📍Address: Misaki, Abashiri City, Hokkaido 🚉Transportation: About 20 minutes by car from the center of Abashiri City 🗓Nearest station: JR Abashiri Station

#Overseas Travel #Japan Travel #Hokkaido Travel Hokkaido👉🏻Abashiri City "Lake Notoro" is Japan's number one coral grass viewing spot Lake Notoro is a lake located in Abashiri City, Hokkaido, Japan. It is the 14th largest lake in Japan and is part of the Abashiri Quasi-National Park. 1The lakeside is the habitat of coral grass, which is very beautiful in red in autumn. If you come to Hokkaido in August or September, I recommend the must-visit check-in spots👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Due to the large daily temperature difference in Hokkaido, the coral grass gradually changes color, from the initial green to red, orange, yellow, green and other color layers, and finally turns completely red, like a red carpet. It is a very spectacular scene.. It is as beautiful as a painting📸️🤩🤩 In addition to observing coral grass, you can also watch the beautiful blue sky intertwined on the water surface. When the weather is good, you can enjoy the brilliant and contrasting scenery📸️📸️ transportation Take the Abashiri Bus 🚌 from JR Abashiri Station on the Wakumo Line to get off at the Coral Grass Entrance and walk for 5 minutes to the destination
