Okay, so I chose Towadako (Lake Towada) and the Oirase Stream. First, about Towadako, it is the largest caldera lake on Honshu, Japan's largest island. (A caldera is a depression formed in the depression after a volcanic eruption. JUST IN CASE ANYBODY DOESN'T KNOW.) The lake is surrounded by a VERY steep and forested rim. There is a small town, Yasumiya, along the shore of Towadako, with many small attractions, including the Towada Shrine and a small nature museum.



And now, about the Oirase Stream! It's the only outlet from Towadako, and is also surrounded by forestry. It is VERY popular during Autumn/Fall, due to the fact that THE TREES ARE CHANGING! Along the most scenic part of the stream, there is a hiking trail, which is about nine kilometers long, and takes, on average, two-and-a-half hours to walk one way. But, if you're lazy, there is a bus-tour road that runs parallel to the hiking trail, so you can still see the best of the stream!



So yeah, there is/are my place/places. I hope this didn't seem too boring or simple or anything, and thanks for listening!

Towadako (Lake Towada) is the largest caldera lake on Honshu. The Oirase Stream is the only outlet from Lake Towada. The best time to visit Oirase Stream is during late October into early November, because of the changing colours found in autumn. There is a hiking trail along the most scenic part of the stream, approximately 9 km. There are many bus stops along the way, and it is even possible to ride the bus on a tour road near the hiking trail.
