*Currently, Choubushi Lake is off-limits due to the presence of brown bear feces!

About 3 km from JR Nishiwada Station, facing the Pacific Ocean and surrounded by lush green mixed needle-leaved forest, is Lake Choubushi, with a circumference of 5 km.
There is a promenade along the shores of Lake Chobushi, where 45 statues of the Kannon (Goddess of Mercy) are enshrined, including the 33 sacred sites of the Kannon in the western part of Japan, and it takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to walk around the lake.
Visitors can enjoy nature in all four seasons, from bird watching and hiking in summer to ice yachting and wakasagi fishing in winter.
