A 2.9km walking path, "Numameguri no Koji" (Lakeside Path), winds around the lakes, providing a relaxing stroll. Designated as a bird sanctuary, the area is also popular with birdwatchers. Nearby Tsutanuma Onsen offers a relaxing onsen experience with hot springs bubbling up from the ground. A visit to Tsutanuma Seven Lakes offers a chance to rejuvenate your mind and body in a space surrounded by majestic nature and tranquility. However, during peak autumn foliage season, there may be entrance restrictions implemented to manage traffic congestion and protect the environment.
