It is situated near the Kōfuku-ji Temple, one of the significant landmarks in the area. The pond is renowned for its tranquil beauty, especially at sunset when the reflection of the five-story pagoda of the temple shimmers on its surface. Surrounded by willow trees and lush greenery, Sarusawa Pond offers a peaceful retreat for visitors and a perfect spot for photography.
