Lake Tanuki (田貫湖 Tanuki-ko?) is a lake near Mount Fuji, Japan. It is located in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka Prefecture, and is part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park.
History
Originally a swampy area, the lake was created in 1935 by diverting the waters of nearby Shiba River to create a reservoir for use in irrigation. The lake is now a popular vacation location, with camp sites, fishing, boating and is noted for its views of Mount Fuji.
