On Sunday, July 13, 2025, the 3rd “Lake Nojiri Waterside Creature Observation Event” was held on the beach in front of Green Sports Club (GSC) by Lake Nojiri, organized by Professor Emeritus Masaru Tanaka (Kyoto University) and others. Professor Hiroshi Hakoyama of the Institute of Freshwater Biology, Nagano University, joined as a special guest.

Participants, numbering several dozen, learned about the creatures inhabiting the lakeside by identifying Japanese eels (Anguilla japonica), dace (Tribolodon hakonensis), and other species collected during the event, while also enjoying water play. Lake Nojiri is known as a place where released Japanese eels grow to large sizes.
