Yotsute Ammi (Four armed Scoop Net)
Yotsute Ammi (Four-Armed Scoop Net) is a unique fishing method found at Lake Togo. Bamboo poles are positioned at the four corners of a net, which is then raised and lowered using pulleys inside huts along the lakeshore. This technique is used to catch shrimp, small crucian carp, and other fish. At its peak, 24 or 25 nets were lined up along the Matsuzaki shore, but today, only two remain for tourism purposes, making them one of the distinctive features of Lake Togo. The scene at sunset is particularly beautiful, making it a popular photo spot.
