The dreamlike and beautiful "Nameless Pond"? But it is known as "Monet Pond"
——Gifu Prefecture
When you first see this pool, you will feel like you are in a dream. It is so beautiful that you suspect that you have arrived in a different world~~
There is a pool without a name near Nemichi Shrine in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture. Suddenly one day, I was surprised to find that this pool is very similar to the "Water Lilies" painted by the French Impressionist painter Monet. After the news spread, many curious tourists came to the pool to view this mysterious landscape, which made the locals feel flattered.
It is said that the naming process is as follows: There are beautiful water lilies in the reservoir in Seki City? If you give this pond a name, it can become a tourist spot, right? When it comes to water lilies, isn’t it Monet? ? Then call it "Monet Pond"
Meow Meow Meow
Isn't your name too casual? Although it’s quite appropriate =_=)
In fact, the Monet Pond came about by accident. It was originally a water storage tank. When preparing for it 18 years ago, people from a nearby flower shop planted water lilies here. The water is incredibly transparent, and because microorganisms are difficult to grow in hard water, the pool remains so clear.
The color in the water will change in shades according to the sunlight, and you can enjoy different beauty at different time periods.
Since the constant flow of visitors has made the nearby Nemichi Shrine lively, it is not too far from Gifu City.
There is a Itori Flower Garden nearby, which sells a variety of flower seedlings. With the popularity of Monet Pond, the flower garden has also become popular. It is said that the water lily in the pond was planted by the owner of the flower garden. It was really unintentional~~ It became a legend~~
