Lake Ashi (芦ノ湖,   Ashi no Ko), also known as Lake Ashino, Lake Ashinoko, Ashinoko, and various other names, is a large lake located in Kanagawa Prefecture in Japan that was featured prominently in the 1989 Godzilla film Godzilla vs. Biollante. It is situated in the vicinity of Mount Fuji.

History

Showa era

The Killing Bottle

During his visit to Hakone, the Prime Minister of Buddhabal rode around Lake Ashi in a motorboat. He was soon pursued by R/C boats which were rigged to explode as part of an assassination attempt by ZZZ. He was saved when International Secret Police agents Jiro Kitami and John Carter arrived in a helicopter and shot the explosive toys with a handgun.

Heisei era

Godzilla vs. Biollante

Godzilla and Biollante battling in Lake Ashi in Godzilla vs. Biollante

After moving from Saradia due to the killing of his daughter, Genichiro Shiragami lived in a house near Lake Ashi, and it is here where he continued to tend to the rosebushes containing her soul. After Mount Mihara erupted, most of the roses were killed, and in desperation, Shiragami spliced some of Godzilla's cells into the sole remaining plant. Agents from both Bio-Major and Saradia stormed the house, but were attacked and driven off by the resulting mutation, Biollante. The next morning, Shiragami found his lab in ruins, and later learned that Biollante had taken up root in Lake Ashi. The JSDF formed a perimeter around the lake while Biollante began calling out, attracting Godzilla, who had just come ashore in Odawara. Godzilla and Biollante battled in the lake, with Biollante eventually being forced to break apart into spores and float away after being incinerated by Godzilla's atomic breath. Victorious, Godzilla returned to the ocean, pursued by the JSDF.
