Naganuma Lake is now getting more attention.
As one of the Olympic & Paralimpic candidate sites for boat races.
The governors of Tokyo and Miyagi both look very satisfied to go ahead.
This area is very calm and during the summer time the lake will be covered by many of lotus flowers.
Naganuma Lake is located in Tome City, next to Minami Sanriku Town.
It is convenient also by Shinkansen and Tohoku Motor Way.
But there is one problem, there is not very big accomodation around Naganuma Lake. So we Hotel Kanyo as a large hotel may be one of the accomodations to welcome athletes and visitors.
It takes 1 hour by car from Minami Sanriku to Naganuma, but I suggest to fly by Helicopter which could be a good experience for everybody.
This is the air base of Semine near Naganuma Lake.
We have tried to fly from Naganuma to Minami Sanriku Hotel Kanyo, it was taken only 10 minutes according to our pilots, I believe it could good mean for our VIP guests.
Autumn has come to Miyagi. This is the season of red, orange or yellow colors on the clear blue sky.
