Mikata Goko is five lakes lying side by side behind the Wakasa coast, and the reason they are famous is that they are five different colours. Salinity varies between them — one is fresh, one is fully salt, the others are brackish to different degrees, connected by narrow channels — and the water reads differently in each, which becomes obvious only from height.

The height is the Rainbow Line, an eleven-kilometre toll road up Mt. Baijo, and a chairlift or cable car from the car park to a summit park at the top. From there you get all five lakes and Wakasa Bay in a 360-degree view. There are five terraces with different seating — including foot baths and hammock decks — laid out to be sat in rather than photographed and left. It costs ¥800 to park and ¥1,000 to go up.

인사이더 가이드

**Two charges, and both are compulsory.** ¥800 to drive the road and park, then ¥1,000 per person to reach the summit. Budget around ¥2,800 for two people before anything else. **Clear days only.** The entire proposition is a 360-degree view of five differently coloured lakes. In haze or low cloud there is nothing to see and the money is spent anyway. **Sit down.** There are five terraces with sofas, foot baths and hammocks. This is designed as a place to spend an hour rather than photograph and leave, and the price makes more sense that way. **No bicycles or walking on the road.** The Rainbow Line is closed to both. You need a vehicle. **Autumn and early winter for the clearest air.** Late October through December gives the sharpest separation between the lake colours and the best chance of seeing the far side of Wakasa Bay.
