Byodonuma

Byodonuma, Freshwater lake in Tome City, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan

Description

Byodonuma is a lake in Tome, Miyagi Prefecture, covering roughly 0.35 square kilometers. The water contains both freshwater and brackish areas that support diverse aquatic plants and animals.

History

The lake formed through geological processes over thousands of years and shaped the natural landscape of the region. This gradual development created the water conditions that define the ecosystem today.

Culture

The lake is lined with around 500 cherry trees that bloom in spring, drawing people to walk along its shoreline paths. The flowering season brings locals together to spend time amid nature.

Practical

The lake is reachable by car in about 15 minutes from Momoho Toyosato Interchange on the Sanriku Coastal Road. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since the shore paths can be slippery during wet seasons.

Did you know?

A small island called Benten Island sits in the southeastern part of the lake and is a known spot for catching white crucian carp. The island serves as a natural focal point for observing different habitats within the water.
