Mishaka Pond
御射鹿池

Overview
Mirror-perfect mountain pond at 1,500m that inspired Higashiyama's iconic 'Green Echoes' painting.
This mountain pond at 1,500 meters inspired Kaii Higashiyama's famous 1972 painting 'Midori Hibiku' (Green Echoes), recognizable to most Japanese. The acidic water prevents fish and algae, creating a mirror surface that perfectly reflects the surrounding larch and birch forest. Dawn visits in late May or October produce the most vivid reflections, with the tree line reversed in crystalline detail.
