Nemichi Shine consist of a single wooden building and is pretty unremarkable.
But the pond is spectacular.
Until a few years ago this anonymous pond was totally unknown in Japan.
But now a large number of visitors come here to see the lilies bloom and the koi fishes swim.
Since then, the previously unnamed pond has been called Monets Pond.
Monets Pond near Seki City, Japan.
These became some of Monets best known works.
Nemichi Shine is located almost in the middle of nowhere and cannot be reached without a car.
Perhaps this is why the pond escaped attention for so many years.
But now there is always a crowd near the site yielding cameras and smartphones.
