Hachiro
Lake Hachiro (Japanese: Hachirogata Hachirogata) is a lake in Akita Prefecture. It was the second largest lake in Japan with an area of 220 square kilometers before it was reclamation, but after land reclamation in 1957, much of it has turned to land. Currently, Japan is the 18th largest lake in Japan. It is sometimes referred to as Lake Hachiro (Lake Hachiro) or Lake Hachirogata (Lake Hachirogata). The Hachiro, which is narrowly viewed, refers to the Hachiro Gata Regulation Pond in the southeastern part of Japan. On the other hand, the Hachiro, which has been widely seen, covers the Hachiro Gata Regulation Area, the East Multiplier, and the West Multiplier, reflecting the range of the Hachiro before the reclamation. In December 2007, the range of these fresh water is considered as the scope of Hachiro, and it is listed in the Special Measures for Water Quality Protection.
