A lagoon in Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture. It has an area of 1.09 square kilometers and a maximum depth of 4.5 meters. It was connected to Imae Lagoon and Shibayama Lagoon and was known as one of the three lakes of Kaga, but due to reclamation, only Kibagata remains in its original form. It drains into the Sea of Japan via the Kakehashi River. It is rich in rare creatures such as wild birds, plants, and fish, and is rich in the natural beauty of a water town. Awazu Onsen is located upstream of the Hiyo River that flows into the lagoon, and there are many resort facilities around the lagoon.

石川県小松市にある潟湖(せきこ)。面積1.09平方キロメートル、最水深度4.5メートル。今江(いまえ)潟、柴山(しばやま)潟と連接し、加賀三湖といわれたが、干拓に伴い、原形を残すのは木場潟のみとなった。梯(かけはし)川で日本海に排水する。野鳥、植物、魚類など貴重なものが豊富で、水郷(すいごう)の自然に富んでいる。流入する日用(ひよう)川の上流に粟津(あわづ)温泉があり、潟周辺には保養施設が並んでいる。
