Midorogaike, Natural monument and artificial pond in Kamigamo, Kita-ku, Japan.

Midorogaike is an artificial pond lined with diverse plant species and surrounded by natural habitats supporting local wildlife. Marked walking paths ring the water, allowing visitors to observe the ecosystem and learn about the plants and animals that inhabit this area.

The pond has long held importance as a local natural site and was eventually recognized as a protected monument to safeguard its ecological value. This designation reflects efforts to preserve this habitat for the future.

The pond serves as a gathering place where neighbors participate in environmental care activities and observe the changing seasons together. Local people visit regularly to experience the shifting natural landscape and spend time in this shared community space.

The site is accessible on foot through marked pathways, with public transportation available nearby. Informational signs throughout the grounds help visitors understand what they are seeing and plan the best time to visit.

The pond hosts uncommon aquatic plants that draw scientists interested in studying how artificial waters can support natural ecosystems. This research reveals how human-made spaces become genuine habitats for plants and animals.
