Happo Pond (Nagano)

The hike to Happo pond from Hakuba -- a village known for its winter skiing amid the mountains of Nagano Prefecture -- is a classic trail in the Japanese Alps.
Surrounded by the Hakuba Peaks, the pond is 2,060 meters above sea level.
What the pond lacks in size, it makes up for in beauty, reflecting the 3,000 meter tall peaks in its quiet waters.
