Yunoko Lake
湯ノ湖Tochigi · Kanto
Yunoko is a gate-free lake in Nikko National Park, open at any hour and free, with a shore trail of about three kilometres that takes roughly an hour to walk. The trail is not usable in winter, when ice closes it. The lake sits above Senjogahara at the foot of Mount Nantai, and the Yudaki falls drain it at the southern end.
