Lake Kussharo is known for the swans that gather there.
The surface of the lake freezes during the winter.
However, a hot spring is gushing out from the lakeside.
For this reason, the edge of the lake does not freeze, and becomes a bath exclusively for swans.
The water is lukewarm, and feels pleasant if you dip your hand in.
There is a footbath exclusively for people by the sand.
People relax by removing their shoes and taking a footbath while gazing at the swans and the frozen lake.
