Lake Matsukawa

Lake Matsukawa

LAKE

Due to good public transport along Izu’s east coast, this side of the peninsula is very well-travelled. It is home to many beautiful sights, great things to do and mouth-watering food, suited to any taste.

Matsukawa Lake features the Okuno Dam, the only full-scale rockfill dam in the Izu Peninsula. With a 4.8km hiking trail and abundant nature, this area is popular with many people who love the outdoors. There is also a fishing spot for any keen angler (fee required).

Unfortunately there is no public transport to this lake.

Review

The lake itself was a little underwhelming when we arrived (probably due to the season as there was a lack of water). Water aside, there is a fairly lengthy trail running around the lake. The course doesn’t seem too difficult so anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and walk in nature would probably enjoy this. There are numerous sights dotted around the lake and an abundance of parking.
