📷 Taisho Pond (Taisho ike)
“The bus came out of the long tunnel into the Japanese Alps.” (inspired the1948 novel, “Snow Country” by Yasunari Kawabata.)
Taisho Pond is the gateway of Kamikochi, the Japanese Alps(the Northen Alps).
Taisho Pond was formed when the flow of the Azusa River dammed by the eruption of Mt. Yakedake in 1915 during the ‘Taisho period’ in Japan.
Around Taisho Pond, You can see some submerged trees (埋没林).
