Hidden deep within the forest of Kiyosato Town, Hokkaido, lies the serene "Kamui Kotan Pond." Fed by 12,000 tons of underground water from Lake Mashu daily, the pond boasts incredible clarity, allowing you to see all the way to the bottom!

A short 3-minute walk along a wooden path from the parking lot will lead you to this tranquil spot. Please enjoy responsibly and help preserve the environment 💓
