People will usually alight here and walk towards Kamikochi bus terminal if they don’t have luggage. Nice scenery with clear waters. Apparently you can wash your clothes there????

On holidays driving in Japan, Takayama to Matsumoto 4th April 2024 stopped at Nakanoyu shop (closed) to see if road is open to Taisho Ike pond. Security guard at tunnel said road is closed to cars, but you can walk. We walked 3.1km approx. 1.5 hours thru a 1.6km tunnel & then 590m long tunnel uphill. Tunnels had a walking path and well lit. Great walk and beautiful scenery. Toilet at pond was open but snow around building and hotel there was closed, no vending machines. Pond was nice but the mountain scenery was amazing. Kappa bridge 3km from pond with thick snow on road and weather closing in so we didn't go. Less than a hour walk back. We were lucky with weather. No proper legal parking at tunnel entry.

Taisho Ike Pond is a beautiful alpine pond located in the Kamikochi Valley in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. It is known for its crystal clear water, its stunning mountain scenery, and its peaceful atmosphere. I recently visited Taisho Ike Pond, and I was absolutely blown away. The pond is even more beautiful than I imagined. The water is crystal clear, and you can see the bottom of the pond even in the deepest areas. The surrounding mountains are stunning, and the reflection of the mountains in the water is simply breathtaking. I also loved the peaceful atmosphere. There is a sense of tranquility and serenity at the pond that is hard to find anywhere else. I spent hours sitting by the pond and enjoying the scenery. Overall, I had an amazing experience. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. I highly recommend a visit if you are looking for a peaceful and unforgettable experience. Here are some of the things I loved about Taisho Ike Pond: - The crystal clear water - The stunning mountain scenery - The peaceful atmosphere - The variety of activities to enjoy, such as hiking, boating, and fishing

25 buildings in a compound, with 9 designated as monuments. For a price of 600 yen, it's definitely cheaper than visiting a single house in the village for 400 yen. However, walking thru the village with villagers living next door is more rewarding and offers a better experience
