Myojin ike Pond is actually made of 2 ponds and requires 300 yen to enter, totally worth it given the beauty it displays on a sunny day with the picturesque Shinto Ceremony red boats. This landscape must look stunning in winter too when the trees are covered in delicate ❄️white frost however the whole village is closed until spring! Btw you can not get here by car! Kamikochi is a resort where you get to through mountain tunnels and only buses and lorries are allowed through so you would depend on a tour bus! However there are such busses from Shinjuku station early morning and by noon you can already eat 🍎apple pie🥧 in Kamikochi, just search on Willer Express! Best is to stay over 2-3 nights and walk through forests and explore all the lakes and mountain trails on a good weather.
