A crater lake located on the Twilit Peak on Mt. Hikami. The name of the lake comes from its ghostly appearance - it is surrounded by a white sandy beach and is always enshrouded in mist.
Legend has it that a few times a year, when the last rays of the setting sun reflect off the lake, the mist clears and it becomes a link between the worlds of the living and the dead. People living near the mountain are advised to stay indoors on such days, lest a calamity befall them.
However, it is also said that those seeking death may enter the waters of the lake and cross that dread threshold.
This may refer to the practices that were part of the local faith. The pinwheels stuck in the sand might have been left there by the believers to comfort the spirits of children who crossed to the Netherworld there.

Type: Location
彼岸湖(ひがんこ)
日上山山頂、大禍境にあるカルデラ湖。
白い砂に覆われた美しい砂浜と、一年を
通じて湖面が霧に包まれる、神秘的な
光景が死後の世界を連想させることから、
この名が付けられたといわれている。
湖の奥には隠世があり、年に数回、
湖面に夕陽が沈む際には霧が晴れ、
隠世と現世が繋がるという言い伝えが
あり、その日には山周辺の人々は
家から出てはいけない、とされている。
逆に、死が近づいた人々は、その日に
山へと入り、隠世へ渡ることで安らかな
死を迎えられるという言い伝えもあり、
日上山信仰には死にゆく者への特別
な教えがあったと考えられている。
また、浜に多く並べられた風車には、
隠世へと渡る子供たちの霊が寂しく
ないように、現世の子供たちを連れて
行かないように、という意味が込められ
ているという。
