Lake Iruka (入鹿池, Irukaike) is a reservoir located near the Meiji Mura theme park in Inuyama, Aichi, Japan.
In 1868 the dam holding the reservoir collapsed after heavy rain. In the resulting flood, 941 people died.[1]
On 14 May 2025, a Kawasaki T-4 trainer aircraft of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force crashed into the lake, killing its two occupants.[2][3]
