Kagami Pond is situated near the summit of Mt. Hachimantai. One can reach this pond in about 20 minutes by hiking on the mountain trail after parking the vehicle at the rest house near the summit of the mountain. It is called the “Dragon Eye” because the melting of snow in spring looks like a dragon’s eye. It is popular as a scenic area and the season is from late May through early June.
