Small, intimate pond with willow fringes and a folkloric kappa statue — great for reflections, seasonal color (cherry blossoms, autumn leaves) and close-up water scenes. Easily reached from Chōfu; no entry fee. Best at dawn or golden hour for soft light and calm water; weekdays are quieter. Limited on-site parking; accessible by train and short walk. Brings cultural texture to Tokyo portfolios.
