Lake Inawashiro (猪苗代湖 Inawashiro-ko?) is the fourth-largest lake in Japan[1], located in the middle of Fukushima Prefecture, south of Mount Bandai. It is also known as the 'Sky Mirror Lake'. Lake Iwanashiro is said to have the cleanest water in Japan. In winter swans migrate to the beaches of the lake and stay there until spring.
