Mystical Swamp Kyokusawa Swamp

【A Mirror of Autumn Leaves Floating in Silence】 The Mysterious "Kyakuzawa Pond" Captivating Photographers with Perfect Reflections

Kyakuzawa Pond, located slightly off the main route of Urabandai, is a small pond surrounded by dense broadleaf forests, offering a very private atmosphere. At first glance, it may seem like an overlooked spot, but during the autumn foliage season, it transforms into a "hidden gem" attracting enthusiasts from all over the country, eager to capture its fleeting brilliance.

■ The "Perfect Reflection" Where the Water Surface and Reality Merge

The highlight is the perfect reflection that appears on windless days.

• A Kaleidoscopic Immersion: Due to the small size of the pond and the proximity of the surrounding trees to the water surface, a world of concentrated, rich symmetry unfolds.
• The Boundary Between Reality and Illusion: The vividly colored maples and larches reflecting symmetrically above and below are so beautiful that it becomes impossible to distinguish which is reality.

■ The "Drama of Silence" Woven by Morning Mist and Light

Particularly recommended is the early morning time when the chill is strong.

• Mystical Moments: The morning mist rising from the water surface drifts between the trees, and the sight of the morning sun shining through evokes a sense of the deepening autumn.
• Quiet Patience: The delicate scenery is so fragile that even a slight breeze can disturb the mirror-like surface. The time spent waiting for a moment of stillness becomes the perfect spice to bring out the true value of Kyakuzawa Pond.
