Lake Abashiri - Abashiriko

Japanese: 網走湖 - あばしりこ
Lake Abashiri - Abashiriko

A lake in northeastern Hokkaido, straddling Abashiri City and Ozora Town. It stretches 11 km north to south, 4 km east to west, with a shoreline of 39 km, an area of ​​32.2 square km, an elevation of 0.0 m, and a maximum depth of 16.1 m. The surface is freshwater, but the bottom of the lake is salty, and it is believed to have been an inlet before the surrounding area became land. The Abashiri River flows into the south bank, forming a delta, and flows out from the north. Inland fishing is carried out by releasing smelt, crucian carp, and carp, and the fish are also processed. The wetland plant community in the Memanbetsu district of Ozora Town on the southeastern bank is a natural forest of deciduous broadleaf trees such as Japanese ash and Japanese alder, and a colony of Asian skunk cabbage continues on the forest floor for 2 kilometers, which has been designated a national natural monument.
