Lake Notoro - Notoroko

Japanese: 能取湖 - のとろこ
Lake Notoro - Notoroko

A lagoon facing the Sea of ​​Okhotsk in eastern Hokkaido. It belongs to Abashiri City. It is surrounded on the east and west by hills at the end of the Kitami Mountains, and is separated from the Sea of ​​Okhotsk by a sandbar extending from the west. It has an area of ​​58.4 square kilometers, a circumference of 32 kilometers, and a maximum depth of 23 meters. It is almost circular, and connects to the open sea at its northeastern end. In the past, the opening was closed every autumn due to drifting sand, and was opened artificially during the snowmelt season, but a permanent lake mouth was completed in 1977 (Showa 52). Flatfish, sillago mackerel, and other fish are caught here, and scallops and oysters are cultivated here. It is part of the Abashiri Quasi-National Park, and there is a colony of Halloumi (a Hokkaido designated natural monument) near Ubaranai on the southwestern shore, and a primeval flower garden on the sandbar on the northern shore. National Route 238 runs along the southern and western shores.

北海道東部、オホーツク海に面した潟湖(せきこ)。網走市(あばしりし)に属す。東西を北見山地末端部の丘陵が囲み、西から延びた砂州によってオホーツク海と隔てられている。面積58.4平方キロメートル、周囲32キロメートル、最大水深23メートル。ほぼ円形で北東端で外海と通じている。かつては毎年秋の漂砂により開口部が閉ざされ、融雪期に人工的に開けていたが、1977年(昭和52)永久湖口が完工した。カレイ、コマイなどの漁獲があり、ホタテガイ、カキの養殖が行われる。網走国定公園の一部で、南西岸の卯原内(うばらない)付近にアッケシソウの群落(道指定天然記念物)があり、北岸の砂州には原生花園がある。南岸と西岸を国道238号が走っている。
