KANAYAMA湖 / Lake Kanayama

KANAYAMA湖（位在南富良野町）是因水壩而形成的人造湖。周遭覆蓋著在日本只有在北海道分布的針葉樹樹林。湖內有棲息著被指定為瀕臨絕種物種的鮭科淡水魚的伊富魚和花羔紅點鮭。在湖畔建設有休閑設施、住宿設施。這裡也有薰衣草園，從7月中旬開始是觀賞最佳時期。

Lake Kanayama (Minami-Furano Town) is the largest artificial lake created by a dam in Hokkaido. The lake is surrounded by a pine tree forest. Todo-matsu and Ezo-matsu grow only in Hokkaido, and some regions in Russia. Matsu means pine tree in English. There are many kinds of fish in the lake. Ito and Oshorokoma, members of the salmon family that live in fresh water, are facing extinction. The lakeside is a good spot for leisure pursuits. A park and camping site are there. In summer, from the middle of July to the middle of August, their lavender garden in full bloom is a highlight.
