[2025 Tsuno Attraction] Travel Guide for Hakuryu Lake (Updated Jul)

📍 Lake Hakuryu, Kochi Prefecture The mysterious blue color is a hot topic! This uncharted spot at the foot of the Shikoku Karst is not on any maps. The water is surprisingly clear, and the mysterious blue color has become a hot topic on social media. We would like to introduce the mysterious Lake Hakuryu. Lake Hakuryu is the size of two tennis courts, and is about 1-3m deep. The cobalt blue color that is transparent to the bottom of the lake is mysterious. The secret to its popularity is that you can usually see the carp swimming in the pond as if they are floating, but the day before this day there was a big storm. As a result, even places that would never be covered in water normally were covered in water. A view that you will probably never see again. This is mysterious enough in itself! #0 yen trip January 2025

"Hakuryu Lake" is located in the remote mountains of Tsuno Town in the western part of Kochi Prefecture. It is a new water scenic spot in Kochi Prefecture that has become a hot topic on social media in recent years. However, it is not a natural lake, but an artificial lake created as a hobby by the president of a local construction company. It is located on the grounds of the construction company, but is open to the public for free as they would like the public to see it. (There is no parking lot, so you will have to park on the road while being careful of your surroundings.) Although it is an artificial lake, it is a lake that is drawn from the clear water that originates from the Shimanto River, a first-class river, so it is guaranteed to be transparent. The lake is relatively small, about 30m wide and 3m deep. The white sand containing limestone is sunk to the bottom of the lake, so it has beautiful emerald green water all year round. It is said that the water is so clear that the carp swimming in the pond look as if they are flying in the air, and it is also known as the "Kochi version of Monet's Pond." What is unique is the construction company's own promenade, which was made from recycled materials such as conveyor belts. It is painted in pink and red, making it perfect for Instagram. The entrance is marked by a giant tanuki "Yosaku Tanuki" and a dragon object. Hakuryu Lake is an artificial lake, but there are legends surrounding Hakuryu in this area, and a cave next to the lake has an anecdote about a monk, so it seems to be more than just an artificial lake. It is still a hidden gem, so be sure to visit it. (However, be careful as there are no shops around.) #tripdomestictravel #KochiPrefecture #amazingview #springwater #amazingviewofwater

Lake Hakuryu is a hidden spot at the foot of the Shikoku Karst. Kochi Prefecture has many natural spots with beautiful water colors, and this is one of them. It is quite far from Kochi city, so it is a recommended spot for those who are going to Shikoku Karst or Yusuhara Town. The entrance is a little hard to find, but the building next to a big raccoon is the landmark. If you go down from the side, the lake will appear. There are also carp in the lake, which is also nice! There is also food, so you can enjoy feeding them. [Lake Hakuryu] 785-0505 Yoshinoko, Tsuno-cho, Takaoka-gun, Kochi Prefecture #DomesticTravelLogLine#KochiTrip #KochiTourism
