Lake Tanzawa (丹沢湖, Tanzawa-ko?), is a lake located to the east of Mt. Fuji in Yamakita town, Ashigarakami district, in the Kanagawa Prefecture of Japan. It was created due to construction of the Miho dam in 1978. The lake and its surroundings are frequently visited during fall to admire autumn colors.
Famous quotes containing the word lake:
“They who know of no purer sources of truth, who have traced up its stream no higher, stand, and wisely stand, by the Bible and the Constitution, and drink at it there with reverence and humility; but they who behold where it comes trickling into this lake or that pool, gird up their loins once more, and continue their pilgrimage toward its fountain-head.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
