Everything about Lake Tazawa totally explained
is a
caldera lake in
Akita Prefecture, northern
Japan. It is the deepest lake in Japan (the maximum depth is 423.0 m). Because of its depth, it never freezes.
Formerly the lake was noted for having very clear water which could be compared to
Lake Mashu in
Hokkaidō. It was polluted due to the construction of a
hydroelectric dam in
1940 and acid drainage from a hot spring (
onsen). As a result, the indigenous fish kunimasu (
oncorhynchus nerka kawamurae) became extinct.
The town of
Tazawako is named after the lake.
JR East maintains the
Tazawako Line. While once the limited express
Tazawa ran from
Morioka to
Akita, it was replaced by the
Akita Shinkansen Komachi in
1997.
Several hot springs resorts can be found in the hills above the lake. Akita Prefecture's largest ski area,
Tazawa Ski Area, overlooks the lake.
