    It is little beautiful pond which you can feed koi and ducks. You can purchase koi food there. There is shrine ( Benten ) and lots of stairs to the top. The view from the top is absolutely beautiful. There are shrine which is worshipping snake and meant to be bring you talent related music. It is very small but very quiet. Only 4 parking spaces and very nallow road.

    The place is divided. The pond is the most beautiful part cause of the clear water and the relax environment. There is also a religious place upstairs, that you can pray and see the another pond across the street from the top of the stairs. You should arrive early cause the parking area fits about 6 cars only. There is toilet.

    In 1985, the Japanese Ministry of the Environment named this pond as one of the country's Hundred Famous Waters. The pond is crystal clear, and the surrounding park has a serene atmosphere. While it is a small pond, it is worth a visit if you are in the area.

    Located at the foot of the shrine on top of the mountain.

    Lovely little local attraction with koi and other fish in a small pond. Serene spot to spend a couple of hours, very cool in the shade even if it's a hot day. Good location to bring young kids along too, and feed the fish.

    As the reviews suggest, the lake water was exquisitely clear. It was glistening in the sunlight, and the glorious autumn leaves topped it all off. Definitely worth a trip. There is a small car parking space that accommodates 5 cars only, but if you look carefully, there is another carpark that is larger and accommodates around 10 cars.

    Beautiful place, perfect to take a walk and relax while enjoying the nature.

  • 5/5 Edward K. 11 months ago on Google • 50 reviews
    This is a very local attraction. You hardly get international tourists here, which is the biggest selling point, especially if you don’t want to jostle and elbow with the crowd at Oshino Hakkai in Kawaguchiko. 

I do prefer this because other than the quiet that is befitting such a sacred space, I found the flora and foliage around the pond and their reflection to be absolutely calming. 

It’s very hard to say the same about Oshino Hakkai, which is becoming more like a tourist trap with busloads being dropped off.

That said, it’s also because of how hidden the location that there is not much to do. 

There’s a public bath (onsen) across the road and a cafe to the side. Public toilet is available.

There’s a Shinto Shrine and a Buddhist temple as well. The former does look slightly neglected, while the temple is a short climb to to top, offering a decent vantage point of the neighbourhood.

    Short hiking trail with a beautiful pond. Look out for free parking lots just before the entrance.

    (Translated by Google) It is similar to Monet's pond in Gifu. I liked the narrow and tasteful road before the road in front of me was beautiful. (Original) 岐阜のモネの池に似てる。目の前の道路が綺麗になる前の狭くて味のある道路が好きだったのにな。

    (Translated by Google) It is a beautiful pond in Isoyama Park, Sano City, Tochigi Prefecture, known for its famous water designated by the Environment Agency. The pond is extremely clear and has many carps and crucian carps. The stunning vermilion gate at the top of the stone steps is dazzling. There is a beautiful vermilion shrine just past the tower gate and up the stone steps. The inside of the shrine is also beautiful. A large painting was hung on the wall, but he was healed by the idyllic landscape looking down from the shrine without watching. (Original) 栃木県佐野市磯山公園内にある環境庁指定の名水で知られる美しい池です。池の透明度は抜群に澄んでいてたくさんのコイやフナが生息しています。石段を登った所にある見事な朱色の楼門がまぶしい。楼門をくぐってさらに石段を登った先に美しい朱色の社殿があります。社殿の中も美しい。壁には大きな絵がかけられていたが、鑑賞することなく社殿から見下ろすのどかな風景に癒されていました。

    (Translated by Google) There is a very beautiful pond where carps and fish living in the clear stream are swimming. There is a shrine ⁉️ temple, and you can visit there because there is a main hall that rises up to the top with stairs. The stairs slide a little steeply, so be careful of your feet ? (Original) とても綺麗な池があり、鯉や清流に住む魚が泳いでます。 神社⁉️寺があり、階段で上まで上がり本堂があるので、そこでお参りができます。階段は、少し急で滑りますので足元にはご注意下さい?

    (Translated by Google) I went there early in the morning. It was cloudy, but the water was clear, the scenery was good, and the reflection was beautiful. I also took a few photos. I was swimming like a carp was flying ww (Original) 早朝に行ってみました。曇り空でしたが水は澄んでて風景も良し、リフレクションも綺麗でした。写真も数枚撮らせていただきました。鯉も飛んでいるかのように泳いでましたww

  • 5/5 宮川真太 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The water was beautiful and clear, and it was a quiet and quaint place. I bought a ripe yuba from a nearby tofu factory, smoked tofu, and a bagel. Everyone was very delicious. Benten-sama was a building that seems to appear in Spirited Away. (Original) 水も綺麗に澄んでいて静かな趣のある場所でした。近くのお豆腐工場の完熟ゆばとお豆腐の燻製、ベーグルを買って帰りました。みんな凄く美味しかったです。 弁天さまは、千と千尋の神隠しに出てきそうな建物でした。

    (Translated by Google) The water is crystal clear, so you can feel like you are in another world slowly. The maple was beautiful because I just went to the autumn leaves. At the stand, the collaboration with sweets and freshly fried "imo fry" "100 yen" sauce is exquisite. Recommended in places where you can relax and unwind. It allows us to draw natural water to a hotel across the road. It is delicious water. Visit Benzaiten near the middle of the mountain and be healed by the panoramic view. There are plenty of things like dropping money, windholes and natural water. There are tofu shops and fishing pond nearby, so please take a family trip. The rainbow trout in the fishing pond can be caught immediately, eaten with salt grilling, and the carp feeding is powerful. Children are delighted. There are about 5 parking lots at Benten Pond, but you can park at a fishing pond parking lot. (Original) 水が透き通っており、時間がゆるやかに、別世界にいるような気持ちになれます。 ちょうど紅葉の時期に行きましたので、もみじが綺麗でした。 売店では駄菓子や、揚げたて「いもフライ」"100円"のソースとのコラボは絶品です。のんびりしてほっこりできる場所でおすすめです。 道路挟んだ向かいのホテルに天然水を汲むことができるようにしてくれています。おいしい水です。 山の中腹辺りにある弁財天さんにお参りして、一望できる景色に癒されます。お金の厄を落としたり、風穴、こちらにも天然水などあります。 近くにお豆腐屋さん、釣り堀などがありますので家族旅行で、ぜひどうぞ。釣り堀のニジマスがすぐ釣れて、塩焼きで食べれますし、コイの餌やりは迫力満点。子どもは大喜び。 弁天池の駐車場は5台程度ですが、釣り堀の駐車場にも停められます。

    (Translated by Google) A place where you can refresh your mind with a strange color of water (Original) 水の色が不思議な、心洗われる場所

    (Translated by Google) I visited by bicycle around 12 o'clock on Saturday. By the time I go to Benten Pond, it seems that there are about two free parking lots, about 15 cars in total, but everywhere is full. If you come by car, it is better to check the parking lot carefully and think about the time to come. It is a place where you can feel very peaceful and the water is very clean. As you climb Bensaiten in the foreground, you will be branched on the way to the main hall and the way to the top. As you climb up there, you will see a sign called "Bentenike" on the way. As you descend, you will be connected to the back of Benten Pond. This is a 20-minute hiking course, so if you have a lack of exercise, please do so. (Original) 土曜の12時ごろ自転車で伺いました。弁天池に行くまでに無料駐車場が二つほど、合計15台くらいとめれそうですが、どこも一杯。車で来る方は、駐車場をよく調べて、来る時間を考えた方が良さそうです。 非常に水が綺麗で安らかな気持ちになれる場所です。手前にある弁財天を登っていくと、途中で本堂に至る道とさらに上に登る道に枝分かれします。そこを上に登っていくと、途中で「弁天池」という看板が出てきます。それに従って降りていくと、弁天池の裏手に繋がっています。20分ぐらいのハイキングコースなので、運動不足の方は是非どうぞ。

    (Translated by Google) Springs. The scale is not so big, but the soberness is just right. After all, the beautiful transparent pond where the carps swim is a must-see. It is also good to have shops and ryokan where you can take a day trip bath around. (Original) 湧水地。規模はそこまで大きくないが、ちょうどよい地味さがほっとする。 なんといっても、鯉の泳ぐ透明な美しい池が見もの。周囲に売店や、日帰り入浴のできる旅館が集まっているのもよい。

    (Translated by Google) From the name, I thought that it was a small spring place in the mountain, and when I visited, there was a well-maintained pond, and the water was transparent. What is the narrow parking lot? I ate potatoes and bought yuba as a souvenir. (Original) 名前からして山の小さな湧水場所と思って訪れてみたら、なんと整備されたこじゃれた池があり、水の透明さに心が洗われた。駐車場の狭いのは何とも? 芋ポテトを食べ、ゆばをお土産に買ってきた。
