Kumobaike is a pond near Roppongi Tsuji in Karuizawa-cho, Kitasaku-gun, Nagano Prefecture. Locally, it is called "Omizubata", and it was nicknamed "Swan Lake" by former foreign summer visitors. From its elongated shape, there is a legend of the footprints of a giant called Day Rambo, but in the Taisho period, Genjiro Nozawa of Nozawa-gumi, a trader who developed the surrounding area as a villa, built an artificial lake by stopping a stream (the Unba River) that was derived from the spring water "Gozen water" in the current Hotel Kashima-no-mori site. The source of water is spring water known as famous water since the Edo period, and it has been used by daimyo (Japanese feudal lord) and Miyake (Imperial family) since the Karuizawa-juku period, and was also served on the occasion of the visit of Emperor Meiji.
