Juniko Lake and Aoike Pond Area (Aomori Prefecture)

Lake Juniko and Aoike

Juniko Lakes is located on the west side of Shirakami Sanchi Mountain Range, and is said to have been formed when a major earthquake that occurred during the Edo period dammed up a stream, causing the ground to collapse and forming 33 lakes and swamps. However, the smaller ponds were hidden in the forest, and only 12 large ponds were visible, which is why it is called "Juniko Lakes." Among them, the most famous is "Aoike Pond," which is said to be the color of poured blue ink.
