Myojin Pond Spring Water Park

Renowned for its remarkable clarity and breathtaking beauty, Myojin Pond Spring Water Park is often compared to Japan's famous "Monet's Pond."
Fed by approximately 2 tons of crystal-clear spring water every minute, the pond is so transparent that its bottom can be seen with astonishing clarity.
During the winter months, when aquatic plants are sparse, the water reflects a deep indigo blue under the changing light. Together with the graceful koi gliding beneath the surface, the scenery creates a dreamlike landscape that has earned widespread attention on social media.
In summer, lush aquatic plants transform the pond into a vibrant green oasis, offering a completely different expression of nature. With every season revealing its own unique charm, Myojin Pond is a destination to be experienced time and time again.
