After Lake Masshu we visited Lake Kussharo, only about 30 minutes away. Lake Kussharo is famous in Hokkaido because it is supposed to hold the dinosoar-like Kussharo (like the loch ness monster). I can't say if Kussharo lives in the lake or not but there are many swans who live at the lake's edge growing fat off the bread tourists can feed them for 100 yen (approximatly 1 dollar).
