Shinobazu Pond
不忍池Tokyo · Kanto
Shinobazu Pond is a large natural pond in the southwest of Ueno Park, ringed by walking paths and framed by the city skyline, with Bentendo hall on its island at the centre. It is a popular spot for locals seeking tranquility amid the urban hustle, and its northern basin is a winter refuge for migrating waterfowl. The pond's lotus beds fill the water with broad leaves and pink flowers from July into August.
