SHINOBAZU POND

Millions of water lilies litter the top of the still, green water that ripples from the koi found beneath and from waterfowl that swim above. Shinobazu Pond is adjacent to Ueno Park with a small Bentendō Hall shrine, which is dedicated to the goddess Benzaiten, in the heart of the park. There’s a pond area for paddle and row boats to the left of the Lotus pond and the Cormorant pond which takes its name from the birds that live there, and borders the zoo.
