太郎湖


太郎湖は、滝口にある雄阿寒岳の登山口から10分ほど歩いたところにあります。この湖は、雄阿寒岳の噴火によりに形成されました。阿寒湖と川で繋がっており同様の水質をしています。春には、紫色のオオサクラソウの花が咲き、秋には周囲の森が燃える火のような赤色とオレンジ色に紅葉します。季節によっては、オジロワシやオオハクチョウなどの野生鳥類も湖の周りで見つけることができます。

Lake Taro


Lake Taro was formed in an eruption of Mt. Oakan. It is approximately a ten-minute hike from the Mt. Oakan Trailhead located at the Takiguchi Waterfall. The lake is connected to Lake Akan by a river, and shares very similar water quality with its larger neighbor. In spring, the purple-flowered Osakuraso (Primula jesoana) blooms, and in autumn, the surrounding forest is transformed when the foliage turns fiery red and orange. Depending on the season, white-tailed eagles and whooper swans can also be spotted around the lake.
