[2025 Seki Attraction] Travel Guide for Monet's Pond (Updated Mar)

Monet's Pond in Gifu Prefecture is famous for the sight of Nishikigoi carp swimming in its crystal clear pond. The most beautiful times are early summer when the water lilies bloom and in autumn when the leaves change color, and I went when the leaves were at their peak. The most popular view is Photo 1, and the colors change depending on the time of day. Photo 1 was taken around 9:30, and Photo 2 was taken around 12:30. If you like a fantastical atmosphere, early in the morning is best, and if you prefer vivid colors, I recommend taking photos in the afternoon. However, in the morning when the water temperature is still low, not many carp come out from under the bridge, so it's easier to take photos of the fish swimming after 11:00. However, as more and more people come out, it becomes more difficult to take photos without people in them, which is a bit of a problem. If you can't find a time when there are no people around, you can be sure to take photos of the water surface from above this bridge. (Photos 3 and 4) The color of the water surface is especially beautiful under the bridge, so it's also a great photo spot to take pictures of the clear water, carp, and autumn leaves. By the way, this pond is next to the torii gate in photo 5, and it's not very big, so you can walk around it in about 5 minutes. #domestictrip

Monet Pond 🍁🍂⛲️The anonymous pond, Namonaki or Monet's pond, because of its beauty at first sight, like a painting by the world's greatest French artist, Claude Monet, in his series of lotus paintings in a pond called "Le Bassin Aux Nymphéas", located in Gifu Prefecture, located in the central part of Honshu Island, amidst the valleys surrounding Seki City. ⛰️🍂🍁The pond is small, with a maximum length of about 60 feet. With the characteristics of a clear blue pond that is naturally flowing from a nearby mountain, the pond is full of colorful lotus flowers and beautiful schools of Japanese koi fish. This is the attraction that attracts tourists to visit and see the beauty like a dream. 🍁🍂🍁 Especially during the changing leaves season, it is beautiful. When looking at the reflection in the water, it looks like a painting. 📍 Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan #NatureTourism

I went to the Nameless Pond (commonly known as Monet's Pond) (Seki City, Gifu Prefecture), which resembles Claude Monet's painting "Water Lilies"! The spring water was crystal clear, and the colorful carp were swimming as if they were floating, which was beautiful🧊 The water lilies start to bloom from the end of May to October, and the amount of spring water entering the pond increases from spring to autumn, so the water becomes more transparent! The spring water comes out at 14℃, so Monet's Pond does not freeze, and even when the temperature drops below freezing, you can see the fantastic scenery of the water lilies blooming in the unfrozen pond where steam is rising🪷🧊 📍Nameless Pond Location: 440-1 Itadori, Seki City, Gifu Prefecture Parking: Free, 200 spaces for regular passenger cars There are four parking lots, but you have to walk a little to get to the third and fourth ones. There are restrooms in the first parking lot. #besttrip2023 #Monet'sPond #Gifu #travel #drive #trip

It took about an hour to drive to the Monet Pond. The reason why it is so famous is that its dreamy and ethereal beauty is as beautiful as the painting of the great painter Monet. At this time, it is just a snowball. The Monet Pond is a good place to be quiet. This was originally a private pond. As more and more visitors arrived, the government began to invest in protection. I didn't expect the Monet Pond in the snow to cry. The koi in the pond has dozens of koi, only a white koi with a black spot, and a love on the top of the head. It is said that the person who saw it will be very smooth this year. I wonder if you found her trace yet? The water in the pond is unusually clear, and the more amazing is that it is not frozen all the year round, even in winter. This comes from the hot springs around the pond, but the bad thing is that the feeding of the fish has been banned in winter, and there is a lot less fun. A lot of people who have been to France feel that the pond here is comparable to the Monet pond around Paris.
