Lake Taihei is an artificial lake created by the completion of the Moriyoshi Dam, with a circumference of 30 km, an area of 195 ha, and a depth of 58 m.
Starting with the opening of the lake season, the “Lake Taihei Komata Gorge Lake Shuttle Taxi” will operate, taking passengers to the secluded Komata Gorge from the fresh greenery of spring through the autumn foliage season in October.
The landslide on the Komata Gorge hiking trail and the collapse of the Hana-no-Sawa footbridge—both confirmed in May 2025—have been resolved, and the Lake Taihei–Komata Gorge Lake Shuttle Taxi service will resume operations on August 9.
The Moriyoshi-san Shuttle is the most convenient way to get there!
Bookings are currently suspended for the “Ani-Maeda Onsen Station – Lake Taihei/Komata Gorge” route and the “Moriyoshi-san Onsen Chiisana Mori no Yu – Lake Taihei/Komata Gorge” route.

After purchasing your ticket at the Taihei Lake Greenhouse, please board the boat at the Kita-Shimizu Pier.
It takes about 7 minutes to walk from the ticket office to the pier, but the return trip is uphill, so it will take about 15 minutes.
Sailings may be canceled or schedules may change due to weather conditions.
