[2025 Uda Attraction] Travel Guide for 龍王ヶ渕 (Updated May)

A visit to Ryuo-ga-buchi, a scenic spot where you can take photos of mirror surfaces that are known only to those in the know. On a windless, sunny day, the surrounding trees and mountains are beautifully reflected on the water surface, creating a mystical sight. There is also a path that goes around the pond, so you can walk around and feel the nature. 🌲 On this day, there was wind, and the pond was muddy from the rain the day before, so we couldn't see the ideal water mirror. When going by car, be careful as you have to go through a narrow road! 🚗 [Address] 633-0316 Muro-mukaibuchi, Uda City, Nara Prefecture Free parking available #0 yen trip #Nara sightseeing

Located in Uda City, Nara Prefecture, near Mount Nukai, also known as Yamato Fuji Ryuo-ga-fuchi is a small natural pond in the mountains at an altitude of 530m As its name suggests, it is a mysterious pond where the dragon god seems to sleep On the side of the pond, Horikoshi Shrine, dedicated to Toyotamahime, the goddess of rain, is enshrined, and it is said that people have visited the shrine to pray for rain since ancient times during droughts The best time to visit is early in the morning on a day with little wind You can see the magnificent reflection of the greenery Even from early summer to autumn, many aquatic plants grow , and it seems that the reflection is hard to see The pond is small enough that you can walk around it in 10 minutes, and there is a gazebo and a wooden path in part. Some parts are unpaved and muddy after rain, so watch your step. Depending on the season, you may encounter vipers, so be especially careful. In early summer, skunk cabbage blooms around the pond. On the way, you will be driving on a narrow road only wide enough for one car, so it will be quite difficult if you have a large car. There is a parking lot in front of the pond for 8 cars. #tripdomestictravel #naraprefecture #amazingview #reflection
