This is Lake Mashu now! The aurora is clearly visible The collaboration with the Milky Way is also wonderful.
Quoted from @mashukoice's post
The red aurora that spread over Lake Mashu was reflected on the lake's surface, creating a fantastical sight with a variety of colors. Looking up, the sky was filled with twinkling stars, and the Milky Way seemed to flow through them - a scene straight out of a movie.

The Milky Way and the Aurora depict the "Hokkaido Miracle"
Here are some more photos of the aurora taken by "Ice of Lake Mashu"
The person who posted this fantastical photo was Lake Mashu Ice, a local soft serve ice cream and gelato shop at the foot of Lake Mashu. They described the situation at the time the photo was taken:
This photo was taken at Lake Mashu No. 1 Observation Deck around 8:00 PM on November 12th. My hobby is landscape photography, and I enjoy capturing beautiful moments in the area and sharing them on social media, bringing joy to everyone. This time, I went to take some photos because there was information that a solar flare that occurred a few days ago meant there was a high possibility of seeing the aurora in Hokkaido.
To the naked eye, it doesn't look as red as it does in the photo, but the beauty of the starry sky around me and the red aurora in the photo made me feel very mystical.
