Lake Man, Wildlife refuge and lagoon in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan
Lake Man spans 0.11 square kilometers at the intersection of Kokuba River and Noha River, forming a brackish water ecosystem near Naha Port.
The area transformed into tidelands during the 1960s through mangrove plantations, leading to its current status as an essential wildlife sanctuary.
The Manko Waterbird and Wetland Center introduces visitors to regional traditions while promoting environmental education through guided nature programs.
Travelers can observe Lake Man from aircraft approaching Naha Airport or access the wetland center directly from central Naha by local transportation.
The wetland houses Macoma nobilis, a shellfish species found exclusively on Okinawa Island, among its protected marine inhabitants.
