The Asaka Canal draws water from Lake Inawashiro to supply farms, industry and homes in Kōriyama, Fukushima, and the surrounding Asaka plain, and it is also used for hydroelectric power. It was built as part of the Asaka land-reclamation project, and is counted with the Nasu and Lake Biwa canals among Japan's three great canals. It is recognised as Japan Heritage.
