explanation: Located between Tottori and Shimane prefectures, Nakanoumi looks like a lake because connected to the outer sea with a narrow strait but it is a saltwater lagoon. It owns an inhabited island, Daikonshima , well known for the culture of tree peony and ginseng. The government wanted to reclaim Nakanoumi to create agricultural and industrial lands but renounced due to a strong opposition of environmentalists. They feared that the waters of Shinjiko lake nearby should be affected.
