🔸We visited on November 21st to enjoy the autumn leaves!
Monet’s Pond is a breathtaking piece of nature in the beautiful mountains of Itadori in Gifu Prefecture that brings a famous Monet painting to life with its crystal-clear water, lilies, and colorful koi carp. Known as mone no ike in Japanese, this spot has been receiving a lot of well-deserved publicity in recent times and is a hidden gem well worth a visit if you are in and around either Gifu City or Seki in Gifu Prefecture.
🔸The Pond with No Name
This instagrammable wonder strangely does not have an official name and is called the nameless pond or “Pond with no Name” in Japanese. It earned the cool nickname “Monet’s Pond”, after gaining fame on social media, where pictures of the stunning pond started to create a buzz about it. People commented on social media that the pond has a striking resemblance to a Claude Monet painting with water lilies floating in clear turquoise water with colorful Japanese carp swimming around the water lilies, and the name “Monet’s Pond” stuck.
What was once, an ordinary pond near a small rural shrine, is now a masterpiece attracting visitors from all over Japan.
🔸The Heart Carp
There is a cool local superstition attached to the pond. Legend says that if you spot the Japanese carp with a bright-red heart on its head, you will find true love. Unfortunately, on this day, I did not spot it, but that is okay. I have already found true love after all.
🔸The Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Monet’s Pond is in the early summer when the water lily flowers are in full bloom, or in fall to catch the vivid red colors of the Japanese maples which surround the pond and shrine. The best time to see the water lilies is usually from May to October with the autumn foliage hitting its peak from mid-November to early December.
