The pond filled with brightly colored koi, similar to goldfish, is truly a hidden gem of Shimoda. The koi, shining in red, white, and yellow, swim gracefully on the water's surface, enchanting observers with their beauty.
Located a little climb from the center of Shimoda, this mysterious koi pond is situated on the foothills of Nezireyama. Riding the ropeway slowly uphill, you can overlook a panoramic view of the koi swimming in the pond. The contrast between the greenery surrounding the pond and the vibrant colors of the koi is a visual delight.
Shimoda is also known for its cherry blossom spots, and at this koi pond, you can savor the remnants of spring. The lively pink koi dancing in the scenery is like the late-blooming double-flowered cherry blossoms. It's a luxurious time to fully enjoy the arrival of spring.
The elegant swimming of the vividly colored koi arouses the curiosity of children. On weekends, it is a popular spot for families, where children can experience the joy of feeding the fish. Amidst the beautiful scenery harmonizing with nature, there is no doubt that you will spend a healing time for the soul.
