Lake Unagi

A short distance east of Lake Ikeda—Kyushu’s largest lake and home of a legendary lake monster—lies Lake Unagi. Smaller and more remote than its neighbor, azure Lake Unagi is tranquil and unspoiled, surrounded by lush green vegetation.

Nearby Unagi Onsen is a laid-back retreat with retro flair that was once patronized by Saigo Takamori (1828–1877), Japan’s “last samurai,” who once enjoyed a long stay here to take advantage of the health benefits of its hot springs. Saigo was one of three warriors who led the Meiji Restoration and remains a major figure in popular culture. His beloved dog became the mascot of Unagi Onsen; numerous statues of the two can be seen around town.

鰻池之美

池田湖是九州最大的湖泊，傳說有湖中怪獸在此棲息。池田湖以東，有一處面積較小的湖泊，名為鰻池。這一汪碧藍的湖水遠離塵囂，四周草木茂盛，古樸而幽靜。

附近的鰻溫泉隱秘而舒適，頗具懷舊風情。日本「最後的武士」西鄉隆盛（1828–1877）曾在此療養。西鄉是主導明治維新運動的三位武士之一，至今仍是大眾文化中的熱門人物。西鄉的愛犬是鰻溫泉的吉祥物，街上隨處可見西鄉牽著愛犬的雕像。另外，鰻溫泉附近的村落中常能見到一種冒著白煙、利用溫泉蒸氣名為「Sume」的灶台。遊客可以在此體驗蒸煮雞蛋以及秋葵、豌豆、蠶豆、番薯等四季時蔬。
