Toyoni Lake — Japan's Heart-Shaped Lake

Toyoni Lake is a secret gem found in the remote area of Erimo Town, Hokkaido, the second-largest island of Japan. It has become a tourist destination. The lush forest surrounds this freshwater lake, which would be stunning on its own. However, the lake's unique shape has earned it a reputation as a tourist attraction.

The lake's heart shape is clearly visible when viewed from the top. It becomes a bright blue heart, surrounded by red-orange or green leaves depending on the season. The lake came into the limelight after a TV commercial featured it in Japan. People realised that "Heart Lake" wasn't a photoshopped illusion, and they discovered it was a real, natural formation. Soon, folks began to visit and appreciate its peculiar appearance. Previously, the lake was known as Kamuito, which means "A swamp where God lives". 

Aerial shots of Lake Toyoni are very attractive and show its grand form. It's possible to capture the perfect shot by flying a drone high into the air. Even take a helicopter tour to see the lake from above. The aerial view is great enough to be a reason to fly a drone or take a helicopter tour. The protected forest surrounding Lake Toyoni contains many wild animals. It also contains a large number of brown bears that hikers should be aware of.

Many photographers share photos of Lake Toyoni on their social media accounts that seem stunning in any season. Its heart shape makes it sentimental and romantic, but it is also amazing to think that this body of water formed naturally.

Although the images are impressive, it is amazing to think that this formation came completely naturally. Mother Earth provides us the most surprising gifts; just look in the right place and be surprised.
