Lake Sohara and lakeside activities

Kitashiobara Village, Yama District, Fukushima Prefecture

Lake Sohara, located in the Urabandai area of ​​Fukushima Prefecture, is a calm lake surrounded by forests and mountains. With just a quick paddle from the lakeside, the blue sky, green trees, and mountain scenery all reflect on the water's surface, enveloping you in a sense of tranquility and openness. In this place, you can experience nature from the water, whether you're canoeing or kayaking.
If you take a leisurely ride on the lake in a canoe or kayak, you can surrender yourself to the harmony between the calm water surface and nature, an experience that is hard to find in everyday life. The lake has few waves and is relatively calm, so even first-timers and those not used to the outdoors can enjoy it with peace of mind, which is a major attraction.
In addition to water activities, we also recommend strolling along the lakeside, picnicking, and spending some relaxing time on the shore. The natural environment of Urabandai, surrounded by forest and lake, allows you to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and refresh your mind and body.
This activity is perfect for families, friends, couples, and solo travelers alike.
