Red Autumn and Paradise of Wild Birds -Lake Komuke and Grasswort in Monbestu-

Lake Komuke (コムケ湖) is a brackish water lake in Monbetsu city located in the northwest part of Abashiri, and the perimeter is about 22.7 km, and almost 3 lakes are connected each other. Those are collectively called the Lake Komuke. Komuke means Bent Marsh in Ainu language. It is hardly become a sightseeing spot, and a beautiful scenery has been left in its natural state. The Lake Komuke is known as Coral Grass Colony (サンゴ草), too, so the lakeside tunes red in early September. It can be said a valuable place that the natural Coral Grass can be seen. Admission free.

A sandy road is between the Lake Komuke and the Sea of Okhotsk, and visitors can observe the nature along the road. A lot of flowers grow naturally in sandy beach, and I think that it is a wild flower park.

The Lake Komuke is called the paradise of wild birds, and about 170 kinds of the wild birds can be observed. A flamingo that ran away from Asahiyama Zoo (旭山動物園) flew here in old days, too. I asked a person that observed a wild bird by chance. He told me that he observed a Steller's sea-eagle, and lent his telescope to me. When I watched the Steller's sea-eagle, it was powerful.

The coral grass is an annual plant with 10 cm-20 cm in height and is a rare plant growing wild only in a part of Hokkaido, Okayama prefecture and Kagawa prefecture in Japan. The vitsitors can see the coral grass in Lake Notori (能取湖), Lake Saroma (サロマ湖), the Lake Komuke in Hokkaido. Because it is very rare plant, harvesting the coral grass is forbidden in Japan, but Europe people seem to eat it as vegetables. It is usually green, but it turns red in the autumn.

Komuke International Campsite (コムケ国際キャンプ場) is near the Lake Komuke. The fee is charged.
