Nagano, Nagano / 鏡池
Kagami-ike Pond
A quiet pond at 1,200 m that reflects the Togakushi mountains like a mirror in every season - fresh green in spring, cool breezes in summer, and above all the blazing autumn leaves. Morning is recommended to see the mountains reflected, and a path goes round the pond and connects to the Togakushi Forest Botanical Garden.
