Lake Haccho-ike
Lake Haccho-ike is the crater lake of 1,170-meter high Mount Amagi. The name 'Haccho' originates from the distance around the lake, which is about 870 meters. The lake is also known as the home of rare Moriao frogs. From May through June, the frogs lay eggs on twigs over the lake to protect them from fish predators. |
