Sanshirō Pond — Attraction in Tokyo

This pond is like an oasis in the heart of the university. And in fact is hard to get to as the entrance is very discrete. So if you are a tourist wandering the campus ground you might not even see it.

I was walking from the Akamon gate with the resolve to look for the pond and was dully rewarded after veering of the road to the side heading into what looks like heavy vegetation.

In fact the foliage is quite heavy and I can’t recall any other park within university grounds with such thick vegetation.

The Nayang garden in NTU in Singapore for example is quite thin and one can see across the whole garden with ease.

But this one looks like a jungle. And there were no people after me (although Japan is quite safe I don’t suggest single prepubescent girls venturing here on their own) as I enter.

Whilst some see it as romantic, I think it...

The Nice Pond and Little Waterfall in Todai is a truly relaxing corner of nature that is definitely worth a visit. From the moment you arrive, you are greeted by the soothing sounds of the waterfall and the gentle rustling of the trees that surround the area.

The pond itself is stunning, with crystal clear water that reflects the surrounding greenery perfectly. The little waterfall adds an extra element of tranquility, with the sound of the water falling and splashing providing a relaxing backdrop to the natural beauty of the area.

Overall, this is a wonderful spot to unwind and enjoy the beauty of nature. Whether you're looking for a peaceful place to meditate or simply a quiet spot to relax and take in the scenery, the Nice Pond and Little Waterfall in Todai is definitely...

Sanshiro Pond is a beautiful and tranquil place. You get to see quite an array of colourful birds and lots of koi. The water features are magnificent. It's situated within the University of Tokyo campus. It's a great place to relax and unwind after the visit to the Museum. The signage on the left of the entrance describes the history of the Sanshiro Pond. There is thick foliage all around the pond with wooden and stone paths to walk around. There is even a mini waterfall and a seating area tucked away among the thick foliage. It's one of the most serene places right in the middle...
