Otani, Ono, Fukui 912-0000, Japan
A scenic dam lake ablaze with autumn colors. A renowned drive destination.
Kuzu-ryū Lake is a reservoir created by damming the Kuzuryū River. In autumn, the mountains surrounding the lake turn brilliant shades of red and gold, and their reflections on the water make it a celebrated autumn drive route.
Several viewpoint spots are scattered throughout the area, including a route from a high vantage point overlooking Echizen Ōno Castle, making it perfect for a stop during a scenic drive.
