Introduction
Lake Yunoko is a crater lake in the Yumoto area of Nikko, a dammed lake formed by Mt. Nantai's eruption, clear waters ringed by primeval forest. The lakeside trail is gentle with Nantai views, a base node for Oku-Nikko hiking and onsen trips — fresh green in spring-summer, quiet in autumn-winter.
