Daruma-ishi on Lake Chūzenji — a small daruma-shaped rock at the lakeshore framed by clear water, mountains and seasonal foliage. Shoot reflections and scale against the lake and Mt. Nantai. Best at sunrise/sunset and during autumn color or winter low-sun conditions. Easy access from the nearby bus stop and hotel entrance; public parking nearby. No entry fee; expect tourists in high season.
