Akan Lake

Reviewed By 814derynh - Waterlooville, United Kingdom

We visited here as part of our tour of Hokkaido. We went for a walk to the local museum where we discovered there are some rare crickets nearby that are only found in this part of the world and they have several sections of woodland fenced off to protect them. They also have Marimo rare algae ball formations that only occur there at Churui Island and in Iceland where the water conditions are the same. and onto the mud pools or bokke as they are known, underground thermal activity quite near to the edge of Lake Akan. We walked back through a woodland walk on the edge of the lake where lots of fishermen were up to their waders waist high in the water fly fishing for a breed of salmon that is only found it that lake called Kokanee, a landlocked variety of sockeye salmon. We heard a Yezo White Backed woodpecker and managed to track it down. A place where you could spend more than the hour or so we had available.
