New Duck Pedal Boats This Year at Hijiri Lake

私達家族の気に入り夏のお出かけ:

車で聖湖まで(亀清旅館から県道77号・国道403号で約30分)

レストラン聖レークサイド館で昼食(湖を眺めながらスパゲティーや豚カツ)

アヒルの漕げるペダルボートに乗って、湖を一周する。

三峰山のリフトに乗って、スライダーで下る。

聖湖は標高1000mで370mの戸倉上山田温泉より温度は大体5堂ぐらい低い。尚且つ、夏休みの最中でも混まない穴場的な場所。

この夏は暑さから逃げて、
渋滞から逃げて、
聖高原で一緒に遊ぼう♪

Our family's favorite summer get-a-way: Hijiri Lake.

We drive up from our onsen town Togura-Kamiyamada (approx. 30 minutes),
Have lunch at the Lakeside Restaurant (spaghetti and tonkatsu while enjoying thea view of the lake),
Then go for a ride around the lake in the duck pedal boats,
And move over to the other side of the lake to take the chairlift up to the top of Mitsumine Mtn. and ride the "Slider" toboggan sleds down.

Hijiri Lake's elevation is approximately 1000 meters, quite a bit higher than Togura Kamiyamada's 370 meters. So the temperature is always a few degrees cooler than down here. And even in the middle of the summer, Hijiri Lake is far enough off the beaten path to not get crowded.

So this summer,
Escape the heat from down below,
Escape the crowds of the city,
and come play at Hijiri Lake with us!
