札幌湖 / Lake Sapporo

札幌湖（位於札幌市南區）是由於1989年定山溪水庫的完工而形成的人工湖。札幌湖與豐平峽水庫(1972年完工）共同供應札幌市民的用水。日本的大都會中擁有2個高於100公尺以上的水庫的只有札幌市。沿著連結著小樽與定山溪之間的道路有4座展望台。秋天可以欣賞到美麗的紅葉。

Lake Sapporo (Sapporo City Minami-ku) is an artificial lake created by Jozankei Dam, which was completed in 1989. This dam, as well as Hoheikyo Dam which was completed in 1972, supplies clean water to Sapporo City. Among centers recognized as cities throughout Japan, only Sapporo City has two large scale dams which are more than 100 meters tall. There are four observation platforms along the road between Jozankei and Otaru. People can enjoy very beautiful colored leaves there in autumn. Lake Sapporo is in the boundaries of Shikotsu-Toya National Park. Jozankei Dam Downstream Park is not far from the lake.
