Nakaumi (中海?) is a saline lake located between Tottori and Shimane prefectures in Japan. The lake is enclosed by the Shimane Penninsula to the north and Yumigahama Peninsula to the east. Nakaumi connects Shinji-ko(宍道湖) and the Sea of Japan. It is the fifth largest lake in surface area in Japan. There are two islands on the lake, Daikon-Jima(大根島) and Eshima(江島). There are bridges and roads that connect the east and west shores of the lake through the two islands. Nakaumi is a saline lake because it is connected to the Sea of Japan by a short channel (Sakai Channel).
