The region around Lake Inawashiro, Japan's fourth largest lake, is most easily reached from the town of Koriyama, to the east. The lake was formed by the deposit of masses of lava from the Bandai and Nekoma volcanoes, and now supplies water for irrigation in the Koriyama area and for the provision of hydroelectric power. The finest view of the lake is from the Kohiragata-Tenjin Shrine.
