Lake Futsūme

Lake Futsūme [先匆; ふつうめ] is a corrie lake located near the peak of Mount Taba in the Ikumo Mountains. The lake is thought to be one of the oldest in Kanton, having been created over 150,000 years ago. 
Currently Lake Futsūme is used for hydroelectric and recreational purposes, with a number of sewage processing plants located around its perimeter. It is also a popular fishing spot, with bass and smelt fish being the most plentiful. Row boat rentals are also offered by private owners, and are popular activities for families and couples. Historically, Lake Futsūme's fresh water was often used to irrigate the farmlands and paddy fields of nearby settlements.
In 1998, the lake became widely known for being the setting of a pivotal scene in the famous thriller film Where The Water's Deep.
