Hatsushima, Lake island in Suwa, Japan.
The artificial island rises from Lake Suwa's waters surrounded by landscaped gardens and recreational areas that connect through paved pathways.
The construction of Hatsushima began in April 1954 as part of a local initiative to develop tourism infrastructure in the Suwa region.
Local fishermen prepare fresh catches at waterfront restaurants, maintaining traditional fishing methods passed down through generations in Lake Suwa.
Visitors reach the island via scheduled ferry services that operate multiple times daily from the main shore of Lake Suwa.
The island features an elevated observation platform providing unobstructed views of Mount Fuji across the lake's surface.
