This artificial lake straddles the boundary between Tokorozawa City and Iruma City, located in the south-central part of Saitama Prefecture. It was completed in 1934 as a water tank for Tokyo, and the official name is "Yamaguchi Reservoir". The lake is surrounded by Saitama Prefectural Nature Park, where you can enjoy 20,000 cherry blossom trees in spring, vividly colored leaves in autumn, the symbolic Mt. Fuji reflected on the lake's surface, and bird watching. The stunning seasonal scenery of this area has been selected as one of Saitama's 100 Selected Nature Spots and 100 Selected Dam Lakes.

The aviation museum was built on the ruins of the Tokorozawa Airport, Japan’s first airport. There are displays such as replicas of early domestic aircraft, and you can learn about Japan’s aviation history.

The large park has an area of about 50 hectares. Within the park, there are sports facilities, an athletic field with artificial grass, tennis court, baseball field, along with other facilities such as the outdoor stage, tearoom, and a Japanese garden, making it a base for exchange between sports and culture for the western part of the prefecture.
