Lake Towada is the largest crater lake in Honsh island, Japan. Located on the border between Aomori and Akita prefectures, it lies 400 meters (1,800 feet) above sea level and is 327.0 meters (1,073 feet) depth, and is drained by the Oirase River. With a surface area of 61.1 Square kilometers, Towada is Japan’s 12th largest lake, its bright blue color is due to its great depth. The lake is roughly circular, with two peninsulas extending from its southern shore approximately one-third into the center of the lake. The lake is a popular tourist destination. Lake Towada occupies the caldera of an active volcano, with large scale volcanic eruptions occurring approximately 55,000, 25,000 and 13,000 years ago. The most recent eruption left traces of pyroclastic flows as far away as the modern city of Aomori. The lake is a double caldera in that the inlet between its two peninsulas (called the Nakaumi) is the remnant of a secondary caldera which erupted and collapsed approximately 5400 years ago.
