High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Nakaumi is a brackish lake located between Tottori and Shimane prefectures in Japan. The lake is enclosed by the Shimane peninsula to the north and Yumigahama peninsula to the east. It is the fifth largest lake in surface area in Japan. Nakaumi connects Lake Shinji and the Sea of Japan, and is surrounded by the municipalities Matsue, Higashi Izumo, Yasugi, Yonago and Sakai Minato. There are two large islands in the lake, Daikon Island and Eshima Island. There are bridges and roads that connect the east and west shores of the lake through the two islands. Nakaumi is a brackish lake because it is connected to the Sea of Japan by a short channel, the Sakai Channel, and lies so low that the tides reverse the flow of the rivers all the way into Lake Shinji. Nakaumi literally means "middle sea". Even though Nakaumi is a lake, it was likely named a sea because of its saline water and proximity to the actual sea. In Japanese, the lake is usually referred to simply as Nakaumi, not as Nakaumi-ko (Lake Nakaumi).
