About this spot

Another famous water spot representing Ubuyama Village alongside Ikeyama Water Source. The pond that appears in the forest displays a vivid blue-green hue and is known for its mysterious beauty that changes expression depending on the angle of light. The small space surrounded by trees feels pleasantly cool and refreshing, making it the perfect place to take a break during summer walks.

Tips

About 10 minutes by car from Ikeyama Water Source. You will walk a short nature trail to reach the water source. The ground can be slippery in places, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended.
