The Lake Nojiri 野尻湖

During the Paleolithic Age, people ate large animals such as Naumann elephant and the bighorn deer. From the lake Nojiri, which is situated in the northern Nagano Prefecture, many bones of Naumann elephants and bighorn deers were found, so the lake Nojiri is thought to be the place that people of the Paleolithic Age hunted.
