    Nestled in the forested outskirts of Chino City, Nagano Prefecture, Mishaka-Ike Pond is actually a man-made reservoir, serving the local farmers. The peaceful surroundings and its tranquil beauty instantly captivated me.

    For photographers and nature lovers alike, the best time to visit is during the early morning hours, around blue hour or golden hour. At this time, before the sun climbs too high, the air is still and the water remains as smooth as glass, creating the perfect mirror-like reflections.
