Kaminoko Pond
A mystical pond 220m in circumference where underground water from Lake Mashu springs forth
A small pond with a circumference of 220m and depth of 5m, called the "God's Child" pond from the legend that it was formed from underground water from Lake Mashu.
About 12,000 tons of underground water springs forth daily, and it never freezes even in winter. The water temperature remains around 8 degrees throughout the year, and the transparency is remarkably high - you can clearly see fallen trees lying on the pond bottom and Oshorokoma fish swimming in the water. The way the water's color changes from emerald green to pale cobalt blue depending on weather and viewing angle is truly art created by nature.
Incorporated into Akan-Mashu National Park in 2017, this pond sits quietly surrounded by untouched primeval forest. When light filtering through the trees illuminates the water surface, the entire pond glows blue, showing beauty like a jewel appearing in the forest.
