Spot
Ryugakubo
Ryugakubo Pond has been formed by the flow of a large quantity of groundwater. Around the pond there is a rich variety of forest fauna and pristine natural environment, and because of this it was designated as a nature conservation area by Niigata prefecture in 1974, and has been carefully looked after ever since.
Just a one minute walk from the car park there is a place where you can drink the spring water. The water is free of charge though there is a donation box there where it is possible to contribute to the future environmental protection of the pond. The money collected is used for environmental conservation at Ryugakubo.
