Small crystal-clear pond framed by reeds and traditional thatched roofs, with frequent mirror reflections of Mt. Fuji on clear days. Best for serene landscape and reflective compositions. Accessible by a short walk from Oshino Hakkai parking; no special permit but be respectful of local homes. Visit on clear mornings or late afternoons for warm side light; avoid mid-day haze. Light winds produce perfect glass reflections; winter and spring offer snow-capped Fuji and crisp air.
