Kasumi-Taki Lake

The river that runs from the waterfall created by the river canyon that cuts through the earth alongside Gajou winds its way through a diverse and lush forest, ending at Kasumi-Taki Lake; a cool water basin -- with sparkling, crystal clear water, its smooth surface punctuated by rocky outcropping, or small 'island' in the center. On cool mornings, the haze and the mist will be carried from the waterfall by the wind, and settle in a soothing fog over the lake area.
