Lake Kano

Lake Kano [樫匆; かの・く] is a lake located in central Zōhai Prefecture, in the southern ward of Nasamazu. The lake is bordered by the Doshō Mountains to the west and the Torichi range to the south. 
The red salmon (locally called 'karupe'), introduced into Lake Kano in 1895, has become a noted product of the area and karupe fishing is now a popular local pastime in summer. A visitor centre, various campgrounds and reijo resorts provide facilities for tourists coming to the area.
The lake is famous for having a device (known as an 'Indian fish wheel') situated in the nearby Kanozake River which can collect salmon returning to spawn at Lake Kano. The wider area surrounding the lake is particularly marshy and wet, and is known generally as the Kanoume Wetlands.
