It is the smallest of the Fuji Five Lakes in terms of surface area, and third deepest, with a maximum water depth of . Its surface elevation of is the same as for Lake Motosu and Lake Sai, confirming that these three lakes were originally a single lake, which was divided by an enormous lava flow from Mount Fuji during an eruption from 864-868 AD.〔Rafferty, Tectonics, Volcanoes, and Earthquakes. page 135〕 The remnants of the lava flow are now under the Aokigahara Jukai Forest, and there is evidence to indicate that these three lakes remain connected by underground waterways.〔 The lake is within the borders of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park.〔(Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park )(Ministry of the Environment (Japan))〕 As with the other Fuji Five Lakes, the area is a popular resort, with many lakeside hotels, windsurfing facilities, camp sites, and excursion boats. Japanese crucian carp and ''wakasagi'' were introduced to the lake in the Meiji period, and sports fishing is also popular. The water of the lake lacks transparency and has a tendency towards a greenish hue due to algae. ==See also== * Fuji Five Lakes * Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lake Shōji」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
