Lake Iwashiro

Lake Inawashiro fills a broad basin in the mountains of southern Mutsu, with Mount Bandai rising above its northern shore. The freshwater lake lies between the Kōriyama basin to the east and Aizu to the west. Its waters leave by the Nippashi River, which joins the Aga River before flowing through the mountains towards the Sea of Japan. Snow-covered peaks frame the lake in winter.
