Lake Kanayama Forest Park

Scenic Views of Lake and Lavender, with Outdoor Adventures in Every Season

Selected as one of Japan's Top 100 Reservoir Lakes, Lake Kanayama offers beautiful seasonal scenery and a wide range of outdoor activities.


Surrounded by lush green mountains, Lake Kanayama provides a peaceful setting rich in nature. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views from elevated viewpoints, while walking trails along the shore provide opportunities to experience the native forests up close. In summer, canoeing across quiet waters and lakeside camping are popular ways to enjoy the outdoors. In autumn, vibrant foliage reflected on the water creates a spectacular seasonal landscape. When lavender blooms along the shore, the purple flowers and mountain peaks mirrored on the surface create a striking scene unique to Lake Kanayama.


The park features the Kanayama Lake Recreation Center, with a large public bath, as well as camping facilities for a relaxing stay in nature. In winter, the frozen lake becomes a setting for activities such as smelt fishing and snow play. Surrounded by crisp air and beautiful scenery, visitors can experience the ever-changing beauty of Lake Kanayama and the distinctive natural landscapes of Hokkaido in every season.
