Lake Hagiyami

Lake Hagiyami [芦弹匆; はぎやみく] is a crater lake on the peak of Mount Senyu, lying in the wide crater which stretches along the northern side. The lake itself was formed around 3,000 years ago after a powerful eruption from the volcano, which now lies dormant. 
Most visitors to Lake Hagiyami stay in local hotels or inns in the northern ward of Saibun. However, there is also a campsite located near the peak of the mountain, and very close to the lake. A hike up the most lenient slope of Mount Senyu from the outskirts of Kojidame takes a little over four hours; however, a shorter trip on an aerial tram allows for a more comfortable ascent with stunning views over the mountain. Senyu Temple is located quite close to the lake, around half way up the mountain on a jutting plateau.
