Lake Yuno, Tochigi, Japan
Lake Yunoko is a small lake located just north of Senjogahara marsh. And it is located about 6 km north-northwest of Lake Chuzenji, and at the level of about 1,475 meters.
About 20 thousand years ago, when Lake Chuzenji was formed after the erruption of Mount Nantai, this lake was also formed. There is a waterfall “Yutaki” at the south end of the lake, and Yukawa River flows out from here toward Lake Chuzenji.
Around the lake, there are old-growth forests and marsh, and many wild birds inhabit here. At the northern lakeside, there is Yumoto hot spring resort. Since the 8th century, here has been a resort as therapeutic bath.
