On the morning of October 15 2001, leaving Yachi spa, through Oirase Stream,
I reached Nenokuchi of Lake Towada past noon. The weather was good, but a little foggy.
Lake Towada, the surface of which is about 400m above sea level,
is a crater lake surrounded by somma about 600m of altitude differences.
There are Mikura peninsula and Nakayama peninsula projecting out over the lake
from the southeast shore, and a pleasure boat leaves Nenokuchi,
goes along those peninsulas, and reaches Yasumiya.
Autumnal leaves were fully enjoyed from the pleasure boat.

First, let me show the scenery of Nenokuchi pier from a pleasure boat.

A pleasure boat advances toward the tip of Mikura peninsula.
We enjoyed the comfortable wind on the deck.

The scenery of Mikura peninsula is shown, the 4th photograph show The Eboshi Rock.
It is located at the opposite side of Nenokuchi, not under counterlight,
so we could enjoy the distinct autumn colors.

The pleasure boat soon revolved along from Mikura peninsula to Nakayama peninsula.
In the following photograph, at Nishinoko (West lake)
we can see the scene of the Nakayama peninsula against the background of Mikura peninsula.

Soon, before our boat arrived at Yasumiya pier, the battery of my camera worked down,
so it was a pity that I could not take photos of the scenery of Yasumiya pier.

Maple viewing of this Lake Towada was blessed also with the weather,
and it was sufficiently satisfactory to me.
Then, I went from Yasumiya Aomori Prefecture into Akita Prefecture,
I could enjoy the scenery of the whole lake viewed from the Hatsuni pass southwest part of the lake.
