SECRET PLACE for TRAVELERS
Few foreign travelers have visited this beautiful place, since many travel guide books MISS this place.
The name of the pond, “Kagami-Ike”, literally means “Mirror Pond” in Japanese.
If weather is fine, the surface of the pond becomes “mirror” and reflects blue sky and Mt. Kaimon on it.
EX-VOLCANO LAKE
This pond was used to be a volcanic crater before it was filled with water.
Neaby Lake IKEDA is known as the biggest lake in Kyushu Island. Lake IKEDA is also known as the ex-volcano lake.
See Lake IKEDA’s article
The diameter of the pond is about 140m.
You cannot walk on the bank of the pond for safety.
View Mt.Kaimon from East Side
I took the video of the beautiful volcano from east side.
There is a hot spring on the eastern foot of the volcano.
I enjoyed swimming in a warm warter of the hot spring with my wife!
Water is colored yellow and has the smell of hot spring.
I felt very healthy after swimming in the water.
