Ogata, Agricultural village in Minamiakita District, Japan
The village extends across 170 square kilometers of reclaimed land from the former Hachirōgata Lake, containing rice fields and wetland ecosystems.
Following extensive land reclamation efforts from Japan's second largest lake, Ogata was officially established as a village on October 1, 1964.
The Ogata Shrine and Polder Museum preserve local traditions while educating visitors about the region's agricultural heritage and land reclamation methods.
The village maintains efficient water management through facilities like the Ikkyu Main Drainage Canal and Hokubu Drain Pumping Station.
The Former Hachiro Lagoon Settler Training Facility stands as evidence of the complete transformation from Japan's second largest lake to agricultural land.
