Kumeda Pond in Kishiwada City, Osaka Prefecture, is one of the largest reservoirs in the region, originally constructed as part of an ancient irrigation project. Its vast waterscape provides the perfect canvas for a 5-kilometer GPS art route in the shape of a “C.”
According to tradition, the pond was built by the renowned monk Gyōki during the Nara period and played a vital role in supporting regional agriculture. Today, the surrounding Kumeda Park is a popular relaxation spot, known for its seasonal cherry blossoms and lotus flowers. The area is also rich in cultural heritage, with nearby sites like Kumeda Temple and ancient burial mounds offering glimpses into the past.
