Eco-friendly cruise into the Five lakes of Mikata

A "battery-powered excursion boat" is now in operation, using electricity generated from solar power as a part of sustainable tourism that aims to achieve co-existence with nature. In addition to producing zero carbon dioxide emissions, the boat is a quiet and comfortable ride that really makes you feel at one with nature. An on-board guide explains the distinctive features of the battery-powered excursion boat, the history of the lake, and highlights worth seeing. The cafe in the Mihama Lake Center, where the boat arrives and departs, sells hot dogs and drinks made with local wild game. Also equipped with a wood deck for looking out over the lake and rental bicycles.
