From Wikipedia

Hachirōgata or Hachirō Lagoon (八郎潟, Hachirō-gata) is a lake in Akita Prefecture in northern Japan. Its formal name is Lake Hachirō (八郎湖, Hachirō-ko), but it is also called Hachirōgata Regulating Pond (八郎潟調整池, Hachirō-gata chōseichi). At 4 meters below sea level, Hachirōgata is the lowest natural point in Japan. Hachirōgata was the second-largest lake in Japan after Lake Biwa. Extensive reclamation began in 1957 for crop production, and Ōgata village was established on the reclaimed land on October 1, 1964.
