We walked to this pond as an extension of our hike through the Yokoya Gorge (we started from the Otome Falls and finished at the Oshidori Falls - which are nearby and also worth a visit). You can also go by car, but I wouldn't recommend it. The day we were there (3rd week of October), it was quite crowded with bus loads of tourists, and because the parking lots are quite small, the cars were backed up down the road while people waited for parking spots. The pond is certainly worth visiting. The reflection of the blue sky and fall colours in the pond was quite impressive.

Chino, a fascinating City and Area in central Japans Nagano prefecture. A small city with about 55000 inhabitants. It is located very central in Japan's Hills with several volcanic mountain peaks surrounding it. The city itself ist at about 800 meter above sea level while the mountains go up close to 2000 meters. With a general mild climate it has developed a unique flora in it's close by forests and Parks. You certainly will find fresh air, space and quietness!

We went on January 1st and onset of winter, the roads leading up to it were icy in a few places so don’t recommend going without winter tires as it’s very risky. It’s not a very big place and it’s ok to visit if you are enroute to somewhere else but not just for this. There were a lot of other cars covered in snow and they have a dedicated large trucks and earth movers parking and a nice public toilet with AC.

The mirror lake is difficult to reach even by car due to tight turns and narrow one car sized roads. But once there, you can park, use the portable restrooms and walk over to the mirror lake. You can only see it from the side of the road so don't expect to get any closer. It can get crowded but the best place to stand is in the middle to capture the tree and cloud reflections.

10月10の晴れの特異日に訪問、白駒池との抱き合わせでどちらを早朝にするか迷いましたがこちらを先にしといて良かったと思いました。15分ほど滞在してすぐ白駒池の方へ向かいました。 まず驚いたのは池のショボさ。小さめの農業用溜池ということなのでほんとにショボいです。家の近所の溜池よりさらに小さいサイズ。 あと注意を要するのは快晴無風状態であっても溜池の排水口附近は常に微妙に波紋が発生していますので撮影構図の右下部分にかからないようにしないといけません。さらに言えば水鳥が横切れば盛大に波も立ちますしね。そもそも池の全景全てリフレクションがかった鏡面反射写真にするのはどうしてもムリで一部分だけ切り取って鏡面反射とせざるを得ないような気がします。全体から池のどの部分を切り取って絵画のような仕上がりにするか最初から考えておかないと。 以前は池の畔まで撮影のため近づけたらしいですが現在は手摺の柵があって中に入れず手摺柵と池の畔の間に数本くらい樹木があります。樹木にかからないよう写真を撮れるポイントは限られていてかなり早い段階で三脚撮影隊が陣取っています。 自分は紅葉シーズン前の平日早朝だったので駐車のほうは楽でしたがベストシーズンだと駐車場に入るのにもかなり時間がかかるのが予想されるし。どれくらい待つのだろう? 以上のような事から通りすがりの観光客が絶景を拝むのは極めて難しくましてや写真に収めるのは至難の技ということもあって星2つの評価とさせてもらいました。ただ御射鹿池の絶景を撮影するのが絶対目標というのであればやはり早朝から半日くらい三脚かまえて居座る覚悟が必要かと。普通の観光客はそこまで頑張れるかどうか?。
