Sarusawa-ike (Sarusawa Pond) is a tranquil lake in the center of Nara with views of the five-story pagoda of Kofukuji Temple, which reflects in the water when the pagoda is illuminated at night.
I recommend visiting at night to get the full experience.
I'm wondering whether I should go here during the day or at night. In the end, I went there day and night over two days. Just stare at the Starbucks right in front for at least 10 minutes.
