Lake Chuzenji-ko is a scenic lake in Nikko National Park in the city of Nikko.

It was created 20,000 years ago when Mount Nantai erupted and blocked the river. The lake has a surface area of 11.62 km² and a circumference of 25 km. Its elevation at the surface is 1269 m. The water reaches a depth of 163 m. The Yukawa is the principal source of water. It drains through the Kegon Falls.

The lake can be admired on foot or by taking a cruise or hiring roeboat.
You will enjoy wonderful view of the lake from Chanokidaira, where the viewing platform is accesible by cable car from Chuzenji Onsen.
