The act of naughty tourists spoils the natural phenomenon ‘Dragon’s Eye’ that forms in Kagaminuma, Iwate Prefecture, Japan. Oh, what a shame!
The tourists are known to snowboard around a round pond at the top of Mount Hachimantai, Iwate Prefecture, Japan. The actions of the snowboarders actually damaged the pool.
The round pool is famous among tourists because of the natural phenomenon that occurs there, namely the ‘Dragon’s Eye’. Where, when the snow on the edge of the pool begins to melt, a natural pool is formed which is round like the eye of a dragon.

According to the local Tourism Association, the incident was estimated to have occurred on May 25 when the snow was still quite thick. The snowboarders deliberately crossed the natural pool.
Yet they could clearly see the rope that bounded and surrounded the pool. They even crossed the rope and then slid down the snowy hill.
Not only one pool was damaged by the snowboarders. Another pool, namely the Gamanuma pool, was also damaged by the actions of the snowboarders sliding over the pool.
The two pools include spots designated for conservation areas by the Japanese Ministry of Environment. The local tourism association also reported this incident to the authorities.
Due to the actions of these naughty snowboarders, other tourists can no longer see the natural phenomenon ‘Dragon’s Eye’ which usually appears in months like this.
“Many people come here to see the ‘Dragon Eye’, so it would be a pity if this natural phenomenon was disrupted by a dangerous act and could lead to an accident, so we will continue to discuss this issue,” said the tourism association in Iwate Prefecture, Japan as quoted from The Washington Post, Friday (8/7/2022).
