Relax and chill around lake Akan
#3 Relax on the hill watching down the lake from Akankohan Observatory

Enjoy the view of the lake Akan from the observatory

Today, we are introducing "Akankohan Observatory", which is only open during green season as the place is ski slope during winter time.
You reach close to the spot by car, so even if you are not physically confident to go up, you can still enjoy dramatic scenary from the hill.

It is about 3 minutes away from the town by car and 30 minutes by walking. You will hear the sound of nature clearly at this obsevrvatory.
Listen close to the sound of birds humming and the wind blowing through the woods.
You will be amazed by the dramatic scenary of the lake Akan and Mt.Oakan.

This observatory turns into ski slope during the winter time. You will see lake gradually frozing at the beginning of svere cold winter in Lake Akan.
It is interesting to see dramatic change in nature depending on different seasons.
Why not go up to the hill and chill out from the top during this beautiful season of the year.

From next posts, we will feature various festivals in lake Akan area! Stay tuned!
