Lake Miyagase

宮ヶ瀬湖

Kanagawa · Kanto

A large man-made reservoir formed by Miyagase Dam, straddling Kiyokawa village, Aikawa town and Sagamihara in the eastern Tanzawa mountains; the dam site has a visitor center, a 315m suspension bridge, walking trails and scheduled dam-discharge shows.

Why it's hidden

One of Japan's 100 Best Dam Lakes and popular with domestic day-trippers, yet almost unknown to international travelers despite easy bus access from Hon-Atsugi.
