All Reviews of Kumoba Pond

Besides the ski resort and outlet mall at the Prince Hotel, Karuizawa is also perfect for exploring by bicycle. Kumoba Pond is a gorgeous lake that visitors often come to see. It is a long, narrow man-made lake surrounded by bald cypress and maple trees. It takes about 20 minutes to walk around the pond. The water is as clear as a mirror, reflecting beautiful scenery in every season. If you can visit in the fall, you can include it as one of your stops for viewing the autumn leaves. Each season offers different scenery. Being here lets you forget the noise and fast pace of the city, slow down, and enjoy the view.

Kumoba Pond, a famous fall foliage spot in Karuizawa, attracts many visitors every autumn. When I visited last time, it happened to be a warm winter, so the maple leaves turned red much more slowly than in previous years. Fortunately, the weather was on our side, and the leaves finally began taking on their fall colors a few days before our departure, so the trip wasn't left with any regrets.

The lake was calm and picturesque, with wild ducks gliding leisurely across the surface. Their graceful reflections in the water were mesmerizing. If you have enough time, consider walking around the lake to enjoy the scenery and fall colors from different angles. Every view is incredibly romantic.

Kumoba Pond is known as “Swan Lake,” with the trees and blue sky reflected on the water’s surface. The scenery is peaceful and beautiful.

It’s lush and green in spring and summer, and the fall foliage is gorgeous in autumn. Taking a walk along the lakeside path is really relaxing. It’s one of Karuizawa’s most popular natural attractions.

Besides walking and cycling, visitors can also enjoy fishing, boating, and other leisure activities at Kumoba Pond. There are rest areas and cafes by the lakeside where you can relax, try some good food, and enjoy the lake view.
