Mannō Lake, Water reservoir in Mannō, Japan
The reservoir spans 20 kilometers in circumference and serves 3,000 hectares of farmland through an earth-filled storage dam measuring 32 meters in height.
The initial construction occurred between 701 and 704 under Governor Michimori Ason, followed by multiple reconstructions including a significant rebuild by monk Kukai in 821.
The annual Yuru-Nuki ceremony on June 15 marks the release of water for rice cultivation, connecting agricultural practices with regional traditions.
Visitors can reach the reservoir within 30 minutes from Zentsuji Interchange on Takamatsu Expressway or take a 15-minute taxi ride from Kotohira station.
The reservoir holds 15.4 million tons of water and contains a wildlife sanctuary spanning 321 hectares, housing 75 bird species and 12 wild animal species.
