Aoike Lake, Aomori, Japan
Aoike is a very special lake – as blue as if it were artificially colored. With a water visibility of 9 meters (29 feet), one can see withered beech trees lying submerged in the cobalt water. The reason for its blue color is still unknown, thus it truly is a mysterious lake. The best season for viewing is from spring to summer time when the leaves are fresh and new. The sight of Aoike when the sunbeam shines through the trees is simply breathtaking.
