Mikata Lakes (Rainbow Line) 三方五湖
Five lakes, five colours: fresh, brackish and salt water side by side.
A national Place of Scenic Beauty since 1937, a Ramsar wetland since 2005 for its international importance as a waterbird habitat, and since 2015 part of the Japanese cultural heritage ‘Miketsukuni Wakasa and the Mackerel Road’. The Rainbow Line scenic road, opened in 1968, became toll-free on 1 October 2022 after decades as a toll road.
