#Kaminokoike
Kaminokoike is a mysterious spring-fed pond in Kiyosato Town in eastern Hokkaido, characterized by its highly transparent blue water. It is believed that groundwater from Lake Mashu springs up, and the name "Kaminoko" comes from the fact that Lake Mashu is called the "Lake of the Gods."
Main Features:
1. Transparency and Beautiful Color
The transparency of the pond is very high, and the trees and fish submerged in the water are clearly visible. In addition, the water is a clear blue color, and the color changes depending on the angle of the sunlight and the weather, so you can enjoy a different look every time you visit.
2. Abundance of Spring Water
The water in the pond is kept at about 8°C throughout the year, and more than 12,000 tons of water springs up every day. This spring water maintains the transparency of the pond and creates its clear blue color.
3. Mysterious Atmosphere
The pond is surrounded by forests, creating a tranquil environment. There are rotting trees lying at the bottom of the pond, which, combined with the blue water, creates a mysterious atmosphere.
Access:
Kaminokoike Pond is located about 30 minutes by car from Kiyosato Town. There are unpaved roads along the way, so driving carefully is required. Also, access may be restricted in winter due to snow accumulation.
Best season:
