Okama crater at Mount Zao #japan #vulcano

Okama Crater Lake, also known as the “Five Color Pond”, lies in the heart of Mount Zao, on the border between Miyagi and Yamagata Prefectures. Formed by a volcanic eruption in the 18th century, it is one of northern Japan’s most iconic natural landmarks. The lake’s water changes color depending on the light and weather, shifting between shades of turquoise, emerald green, and deep blue—a mesmerizing display that gave it its name. Surrounded by steep volcanic walls at an altitude of about 1,600 meters, the lake is often veiled in mist or clouds, adding to its mysterious atmosphere. Despite its beauty, the water is highly acidic and devoid of life, which enhances the otherworldly impression of this striking crater lake. From the nearby viewpoints around Mount Zao, visitors can enjoy a breathtaking view of this unique natural wonder.
