  • Taisho Pond
    Travel / Tourism
    Nagano Pref. Matsumotoshi Adumi Kamikouchi
    A pond which reflects the Hotaka Mountain Range, Taisho Pond was formed in 1915 when Mt. Yake experienced a major volcanic eruption. The trees that once grew where the pond is now have withered away and stick up straight out of the pond’s waters; reflecting off the surface, they create a mysterious, magical sight. Taisho Pond is one of the most picturesque spots in Kamikochi.

  • Kamaike Pond
    Travel / Tourism
    Nagano Kita-azumi-gun Otarimura
    "A mysterious pond surrounded by beech trees at an elevation of 1,190 meters. Its name comes from its shape that resembles a ""kama,"" or sickle used to cut grass. The pond is popular with photographers for the young leaves of spring and the fall foliage. It has earned its reputation for amazing scenery. The beauty of the clear sky, grand mountains, and colorful leaves reflected in the pond is breathtaking. There is a two-kilometer trail around the pond. With its quiet atmosphere, it's also one of the main courses in the area for ""forest therapy."" Nestled beside the pond, Kamaike Bunarin-tei has pickled vegetables, specialty items, and more. If your timing's right, you can also try some of their cuisine made with mushrooms."

  • Myojin Pond
    Travel / Tourism
    Nagano Pref. Matsumotoshi Adumi Kamikouchi
    This is a sanctuary in the rear shrine of Hotaka-jinja Shrine with a scenic pond which is a symbol of the Japan Alps (Kamikochi) of Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture. The pond was formed when stone and sediment from Mt. Myojin filled a tributary of the Azusa River. It is split into two ponds giving it a pear-like shape, and is a picturesque spot where one can enjoy walking and looking out over the greens of the water’s reflection and the pond’s large stones. Every year on October 8th the Boat Festival is held to pray for safety on the mountain, and one can see the mystical sight of the dragon head boat drifting through the pond surrounded by autumn leaves.
