There's nothing like spending time by the water while you're on vacation. Enjoy an afternoon picnic at Shibayamagata and then stick around for a peaceful sunset.
This body of water is located in Katayamazu. If you're on a budget, you'll be happy to know there is no charge to visit. When you're done exploring Shibayamagata, head for some nearby attractions. Katayamazu Hot Spring, Motorcar Museum of Japan and Seki of Ataka are a few recommendations.
