Lake Shinji

The next position on the list of the most beautiful lakes in Japan is Lake Shinji. It is a body of water in Japan's Shimane Prefecture's northeastern region. With a radius of 48 kilometers, the lake is the seventh largest in Japan. It is bounded to the north by the Shimane Peninsula and to the west and east by the Izumo and Matsue plains. Wetland covering 7,652 acres is a Ramsar Site.

Active fishing and mild tourism opportunities, including the numerous hot spring resorts constructed along the lake's coast and sunset cruises provided by local businesses, are two ways that Lake Shinji benefits the local community's economy.

The best things about Lake Shinji are its seafood and stunning sunset views. The Nakajima lagoon, which connects to the ocean, provides a habitat for a wide variety of aquatic species. On a tour boat, you may take in the lake's famous sunsets. Since Lake Shinji is connected to the Sea of Japan by Nakaumi Lagoon, it has brackish water of high quality, which contributes to the profusion of aquatic life, including whitebait, eels, sea bass, and the Shijimi clam, which is the most well-known Lake Shinji delicacy.
