Juniko Ponds (12 ponds) is located west side of Shirakamisanchi mountain district, that is one of the world heritages in Japan, and near the Japan Ocean.
Among those ponds, Ao Ike Pond is most famous and beautiful pond, so many people had seen it once on TV or posters.
The pond 9 meter deep is mystic blue and everybody have been watching it for a long time.
The water is very clear, so you can see fallen beech trees at the bottom.
Although September was not best season to see because of many fallen leaves on its surface, the pond took our heart.
(Best season is Spring. Particulary April is less fallen leaves and you can see the pond very deep blue.)
