Legend of Tatsuko
There is an ancient legend that is told about a girl named, Tatsuko, who prayed to maintain her youthful beauty but was instead turned into a dragon and became the guardian spirit of the lake. At the Haruyama entrance to the lake stands the “Tatsuko Kannon” statue, and near the lakeside is the golden “Tatsuko Statue” which are both great spots for pictures.

Goza-no-Ishi Shrine
Goza-no-Ishi Shrine is known as a power spot popular with the ladies where the legendary Tatsuko who sought eternal beauty is enshrined. We recommend the shrine as a great photo spot with the striking contrast of the shrine’s red torii (gates) against the backdrop of the mysterious azure blue Lake Tazawa. The origin of the name of the shrine dates back to the Edo period when the reigning lord of the area, Satake Yoshitaka used Lake Tarawa as a place to relax.
