Kagami-ike Pond, Mirror pond in Oshino, Japan.

The artificial pond contains pure water originating from Mount Fuji's snowmelt, which fills the basin through underground channels and natural springs.

The pond became part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site 'Fujisan, Sacred Place and Source of Artistic Inspiration' in 2013, marking its international recognition.

The name Kagami translates to 'mirror' in Japanese, referring to the surface of the water that displays reflections of Mount Fuji and surrounding nature.

Located within the Oshino Hakkai complex, visitors can reach the pond through designated pathways that connect all eight natural water basins.

The pond maintains a constant temperature of 13 degrees Celsius throughout the year due to its underground water source from Mount Fuji.
