Sugatami Pond, located directly below Mount Asahi, is a scenic alpine pond known for its stunning reflections of the mountain on clear, calm days. The pond is surrounded by a diverse array of alpine flora, including the Ezo-tsuga zakura and Miyama Rindo. Accessible via the Mount Asahi Ropeway followed by a short hike, the pond offers breathtaking views and a refreshing escape into nature. The best time to visit is on a clear morning to capture the perfect reflection. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes for the trail and bring layers as the weather can change quickly. The surrounding area also features other smaller ponds and walking trails, making it a highlight of a visit to Daisetsuzan National Park.
