A cute pond on the path to Arashiyama bamboo groove (from Saga toriimoto preserved street)

Ogura Pond, also known as Ninomaru Pond, used to be a massive lake in Kyoto, formed by three rivers. It was shallow but teeming with fish, birds, and lotuses, making it a popular spot for poets and artists back in the day. In the 16th century, it got divided into smaller ponds, but sadly, in 1933, it was drained for farmland. Now, all that's left are historical markers and memories of a once vibrant natural oasis.
