[edit] Seaside Resort?

Just a question- why is Lake Kizaki, an inland lake, called a seaside resort? RNavigator 14:23, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

I've rephrased the sentence in question to: Mesotrophic and subalpine in nature, numerous seaside attractions surround the lake, with the locale being a popular Japanese seaside resort." Is that better? Ganryuu (talk) 19:01, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Maybe... I'm not sure though. When I found Lake Kizaki on the map (Google Maps), I also found that it is about 50 km away from the sea- how is that "seaside"? Unless it has something to do with one of the local train stations having the name Umi-no-kuchi ("oceans's mouth"). I looked around on the internet (including Japanese sites) to see if I could find any reference to the area being seaside, but I couldn't find anything. Did I miss something?

Oh, and while I was checking out the External Links looking for some insight, I discovered that the "Maps, Weather, and Airports for Kizaki, Japan" link is not a link for Lake Kizaki, but a link for a different Kizaki. At the top of the page it says Gunma-ken. Again I checked out the map, and found a Kizaki that is part of the city of Ota in Gunma prefecture (it was part of the former town of Nitta prior to the merger).

Thanks for all your work on the article.RNavigator 02:59, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I went ahead and deleted that link. RNavigator 03:37, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
