Tucked at the base of the Japanese Alps, Taisho Pond is like a real-life screensaver. Formed by a volcanic eruption in 1915, it’s now a dreamy mirror for the mountains and sky.
Misty mornings? Magical.
Clear afternoons? Postcard-perfect.
The dead trees sticking out of the water make it feel like nature’s own art installation.
Peaceful, surreal, and 100% worth the early wake-up.
