Exploring Japanese Landmarks in Nishiki-e and Photographs

Lake Hamana

A lake in southwestern Shizuoka Prefecture. Eels and seaweed are actively cultivated here. There is also Bentenjima Island, where the celestial maiden of Miho Matsubara is said to have first landed. Around the lake there are five temples with Important Cultural Properties, collectively known as the Kohoku Gozan, and Arai Sekisho, a Historic Site that is the only existing checkpoint building in Japan.
