About this event

Kotatsu and Hot Pot on Lake Hamana! Kotatsu on the Lake (Kotatsu), a new winter sightseeing experience enjoying kotatsu and hot pot meals in a special space floating on Lake Hamana, begins its full-scale launch in 2026. On floats on the lake, guests can savor hot pot dishes prepared with local ingredients while gazing at the ever-changing scenery of Lake Hamana. The lake showcases distinct atmospheres depending on the time of day: crisp midday air, sunset-tinted skies, and quiet post-sunset waters. Utilizing the Six Float water EV mobility currently under development by Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd., manufacturing companies and tourism operators collaborate to propose a new way of enjoying the lake surface. Each float is fully private and accommodates up to 4 people. Options include a 90-minute plan featuring mikan hot pot and a 60-minute plan, both of which include a ride on the water mobility vehicle. The event will be cancelled and refunded in the event of rain or strong winds.
