Kumoba Pond
【Kumoba Pond】 is a lake located in the southeastern part of Nagano. This pond, known as Swan Lake, is ideal for forest bathing and is a popular summer resort. I was drawn to the red maple trees on both sides of the river. The red maples in Yunchang Pond resemble the red river, reflected in the lake, which is picturesque. Unbachi likes to change her outfits with the changing seasons. In the summer, Yun Changchi wears a green dress that looks lovely against the blue sky. The green leaves beside the pool contrast with the clear water of Yunchang Pool. The autumn cloud pool is dragging a beautiful red skirt. The red maple leaves are reflected in the emerald water waves, creating a natural landscape painting-like effect.
