The Giant Toad's Pond (大蝦蟇の池 Oo-gama no Ike) is a small, mysterious pond that can be found halfway up the mountain. The pond's water is said to have divine properties necessary for Shinto rituals, and lotus flowers can be seen growing on its surface. There is a small shrine located near to the pond about which not much is known. It was built so long ago that no one knows who it was built by or for whom anymore. Humans sometimes leave offerings here.
