Off The Beaten Track: A Different Side Of Hokkaido

3.  Toyoni Lake

Hidden in the mountainous southeast end of Hokkaido lies a natural heart-shaped freshwater lake. Yes, a literal heart-shaped lake that was formed by Mother Nature. A four-hour car’s ride from Sapporo is required to reach the destination, but trust us when we say that the view is worth every mileage. Come during fall when the surrounding foliage turns a gorgeous orange-red shade that truly complements the crystal blues of  Toyoni Lake.
