Lake Tazawa, Akita, Japan
Japan's deepest lake is a beautiful and popular spot in the summer.
Text of the legend of Tatsuko:
A girl of unparalleled beauty, she wanted to stay youthful and beautiful forever. For a hundred nights she recited the Buddhist canon. An answer came telling her to visit a spring deep in the mountains. As told, she drank the spring's water, but not before gorging herself on the bountiful and delicious fish there. As she drank, she only became more and more thirsty. The panicked Tatsuko became a dragon, and a great storm came and turned the area into a lake into which she sank. There she remained.

[한국어 정보]
다자와호는 아무리 추워도 얼지 않는다고 한다. 겨울이면 이 호수에서 다츠코와 그의 연인이 사랑을 나누기 때문이라고 한다. 영원한 아름다움을 위해 신비의 샘물을 마셨던 소녀는 왜 용이 되었을까? 떠다니는 나무를 신으로 모시는 신사. 다자와호는 수심 423미터로 일본에서 가장 깊은 호수다. 화산이 폭발하지 않고 산이 밑으로 꺼져서 만들어진 것이다. 시간이 지나자 물 밑에 잠겼던 나무들이 떠올랐다. 그 나무들을 신으로 모신 곳이 다츠코 동상 옆 부목신사이다. “다자와호 안에는 나무가 돌고 있다는 얘기가 있다. 예전에는 그 나무가 떠올라서 수면에 떠오르는 현상이 자주 발생했던 것 같다. 그 모습이 용의 모습과 닮았다고 해서 다자와호에는 용이 살고 있다고 모두들 믿고 있었다. 그래서 그 용목, 부목을 보고 용을 연상해서 모시고 신사를 짓게 되었었다고 전해진다.“

田沢湖はいくら寒くても凍らないという。冬になるとこの湖であるチュコと彼の恋人が愛を共有からだという。永遠の美しさのために神秘の泉を飲んだ少女はなぜ容易だろうか？フローティング木を神として祀る神社。田沢湖は水深423メートルで、日本で最も深い湖である。火山が爆発せずに山下に消え作られたものである。時間が過ぎると、水の下にジャムギョトドン木が浮上した。その木を神として祭ったところがあるチュコ像の横添え木神社である。 「田沢湖の中に木が回っているという話がある。かつてはその木が浮かんで水面に浮かぶ現象が頻繁に発生していたようだ。その姿が龍の姿と似ていること田沢湖には容易に住んでいるとみんな信じていた。だからその龍木、添え木を見てのを連想してお迎えし神社を犯すされたと伝えられる。」

Lake Tazawa, Akita Prefecture: Sunrise at Japan’s Deepest Lake | Nippon.com: Japan in Video
Lake Tazawa (Tazawa-ko) in Senboku, Akita Prefecture, reaches a depth of 423 meters, making it the deepest lake in Japan. It is not certain how it was formed: Though it has been said to be a volcanic caldera, some think it is a crater formed by the impact of a meteorite.
On a clear day, the surface of Lake Tazawa reflects the sky with a brilliant cobalt blue. The lake is also strikingly beautiful at dawn. First the sky brightens in the east, and then the sun rises from behind the mountains, casting a rippled band of gold that stretches across the lake. The silhouette of a statue appears on the western shore—a bronze image of Tatsuko-hime, a beautiful young woman who according to legend was transformed into a dragon and became the guardian divinity of the lake. A Shintō shrine also stands on the shore, augmenting the mystical aura of the early morning scene.

Tazawa Lake & Tatsuko Statue
Lake Tazawa is a caldera lake in the city of Semboku, Akita Prefecture, northern Japan. It is the deepest lake in Japan at 423 metres. The area is a popular vacation area and several hot spring resorts can be found in the hills above the lake. Lake Tazawa (Tazawako) is a scenic caldera lake that has not been overly developed and retains a natural and rustic atmosphere. The lake is often visited in conjunction with nearby sites like Nyuto Onsen or Mount Akita - Komagatake, which also offer rustic scenes that are typical of the Tohoku region. At the northern end of the lake stands the Goza no Ishi Shrine on a site where the local lords used to come to admire the water in the feudal past . At the western end of the lake there is a famous golden statue of a woman named Tatsuko that has become a local symbol. According to legend, Tatsuko was a beautiful girl who prayed to retain her beauty forever but was instead cursed and turned into a dragon and eventually sunk to the bottom of Lake Tazawa.

아키타 이곳저곳을 다니며 다른 가문이 만들었다는 우동을 수소문했지만 하지만 결국 맛보지 못해 정말 아쉬움이 컸다. 그렇게 길을 헤매다 만나게 된 타자와 호수. 일본에서 수심이 가장 깊은 호수로 푸른 물빛이 하늘과 산을 담고 있다. 그림 같은 풍경에 아쉬움이 눈 녹듯 사라졌다. 호숫가에는 타츠코라는 여인의 동상이 있다. 그녀는 아름다움을 영원히 간직하기 위해 호수 물을 먹고 호수를 지키는 용이 됐다고 한다. 그녀 때문일까? 호수는 아름다움을 유지하며 겨울에도 절대 얼지 않는다고 한다.

I went to Akita everywhere, and I heard that Udon was made by another family, but I could not taste it, so I was really sad. The hitter and the lake that I met on the road. It is the deepest lake in Japan, and the blue water contains the sky and mountains. The despair disappeared as the snow melted in the picturesque scenery. At the shore of the lake, there is a statue of a woman named Tatsuko. She said that it was easy to eat lake water and keep the lake to keep beauty forever. Is it because of her? The lake keeps beauty and never freezes in the winter.

秋田あちこちを通って、他の家が作ったうどんを探し回ったが、最終的味わうことができず、本当に残念な気持ちが大きかった。その道を迷い出会った他者と湖。日本で水深が最も深い湖で青い水色が空と山を含んでいる。絵のような風景の中に物足りなさが目溶けるように消えた。湖畔には辰コーラは女性の像がある。彼女は美しさを永遠に大事にするために、湖の水を食べて湖を守る容易になったとする。彼女のためだろうか？湖の美しさを維持し、冬でも絶対凍らないという。

I don't go by or change my attitude based on what people say. At the end of the day, they, too, are judging me from their perspective. I would rather be myself and let people accept me for what I am than be somebody who I am not, just because I want people's approval.

Lake Tazawa (田沢湖 Tazawa-ko?) is a caldera lake in the city of Semboku, Akita Prefecture, northern Japan. It is the deepest lake in Japan at 423 metres (1,388 ft). The area is a popular vacation area and several hot spring resorts can be found in the hills above the lake. Akita Prefecture's largest ski area, Tazawa Ski Area, overlooks the lake.Lake Tazawa has a surface elevation of 249 meters, and its deepest point is 174.4 meters below sea level. Due to this depth, there is no possibility that the lake is frozen in the dead of winter. At 425 metres (1,394 ft), it is slightly deeper than Lake Shikotsu in Hokkaidō (423.4 meters), and is the 17th deepest lake in the world. Lake Tazawa has no natural inflow or outflow, and in 1931, had a measured transparency of 31 meters, comparable with Lake Mashu, but with abundant aquatic organisms. However, due to the construction of hydroelectric power plant facilities and agricultural runoff, coupled with an influx of highly acid water from Tamagawa Hot Spring, transparency has be reduced to less than 4 meters, and by the late 1940s the lake had become so acidic (pH 4.3) that it could no longer support irrigated agriculture. Starting in 1972, the Japanese government has been attempting to rectify the acidity problem through introduction of lime, with a new facility completed in 1991. However, in the year 2000, the lake still had an acidity of 5.14 at the 200 meter depth, and 4.91 at the 400 meter depth, indicating that full recovery has not yet been achieved.Due to its extreme depth, and almost circular profile, Lake Tazawa was considered to be either a caldera lake caused by volcanic activity or a crater lake caused by a meteorite impact. The depth of the lake was first measured as 397 meters, using a hemp rope, by Japanese geologist Tanaka Akamaro in 1909. The Akita Prefectural Fisheries Experiment Station survey indicated a depth of 413 meters in 1926 using a wire rope. During a three year survey from 1937-1940, geologist Yoshimura Nobuyoshi surveyed the lake bottom, finding the deepest point to be 425 metres (1,394 ft). The survey also found two small volcanic cones and sedimentation deposits to the depth of around one kilometer on the north-west side of the lake bottom. These findings lend credence to the theory that the lake is indeed of volcanic origin, from an explosive eruption of 1.4 million years ago.Prior to 1940, the main species of fish in Lake Tazawa included the indigenous kunimasu (Oncorhynchus nerka kawamurae), Sockeye salmon, dace[disambiguation needed], Japanese trout, char, carp, catfish and eel. However, after the acidic content of the lake changed in 1940, the only surviving fish is the dace, while most of the other species, including the kunimasu, are thought to have gone extinct.

日本の一番深い湖PV???? deepest lake in japan PV???? Japonya’nın en derin gölü ????
田沢湖（たざわこ）は、秋田県仙北市にある淡水湖。一級河川雄物川水系に属する。日本で最も深い湖であり、国内で19番目に広い湖沼である[3]。その全域が田沢湖抱返り県立自然公園に指定されており、日本百景にも選ばれている景勝地である。1956年（昭和31年）から2005年（平成17年）まで存在した自治体である田沢湖町の名の由来であり、現在も旧田沢湖町の区域の地名冠称として使われている。

Lake Tazawa, Akita Prefecture: A Deep Blue, Unfrozen Surface Even in Winter | Nippon.com
Lake Tazawa (Tazawa-ko) in Senboku, a city in eastern Akita Prefecture, never freezes. The winters in the area are extremely cold, but the surface of the lake keeps its deep cobalt blue color, offering a striking, almost otherworldly contrast to the snow-covered surroundings.
A gold statue of a woman stands next to the lake. It represents Tatsuko-hime, a young woman who prayed for eternal beauty. According to legend, the goddess Kannon heard her prayers and told her where to find a fountain of youth. She drank from it, but the more she did so, the thirstier she grew. Finally she realized that she had become a dragon. Ever since, she has dwelled in Lake Tazawa as its guardian deity.
Every winter, the legend has it, Tatsuko-hime is joined by Hachirō-Tarō, a human-turned-dragon from Lake Hachirō (Hachirōgata) in the western part of the prefecture. The warmth from the two dragons’ tryst keeps the lake from freezing.
Lake Tazawa the deepest lake in Japan, with a maximum depth of 423 meters. Its vast volume of water stores the warmth of the sunlight striking it, and as a result the water temperature never falls below the freezing point. That is the accepted scientific explanation, though it is hardly as charming as the legendary account.
