Lake Onogawa

Dotted with several small islands, it is part of Bandai-Asahi National Park.

Lake Onogawa was created by the 1888 eruption of Mount Bandai,[1] which dammed the Ono and Nagase Rivers (小野川 & 長瀬川).

The Ono comes down, via the Onogawa Fudo Falls (小野川不動滝).

Lake Onogawa is a popular tourist destination for all seasons, with camping & canoeing in summer,[2][3] and Japanese smelt fishing on the ice & snow field trekking in winter.

[4] Lake Onogawa can be reached from Inawashiro Station of JR East's Ban'etsu West Line or from the Inawashiro-Bandaikogen Interchange of Ban-etsu Expressway.
