Shinobazu Pond is a photography spot where you can enjoy different charms in the early morning and evening. In the early summer morning, the lotus flowers blooming across the pond are beautiful, and capturing the lotus bathed in soft morning light is ideal. The size and color of the lotus flowers reflect on the pond's tranquil surface, allowing you to capture a fantastical shot.
On the other hand, while the lotus flowers close in the evening, the collaboration between the Benten Hall and the sunset is a highlight. The moment the sky dyed by the setting sun and the silhouette of the Benten Hall are reflected in the pond is especially beautiful, offering dramatic photo opportunities. At Shinobazu Pond, you can enjoy and photograph different scenery depending on the time of day, so be sure to visit both in the morning and in the evening.
