Immerse yourself in a world of mesmerizing blue.
The Shirogane Blue Pond in Biei is famous as the top tourist attraction in the area, captivating visitors with its vivid blue. This man-made pond unexpectedly formed when water accumulated behind a dam that was constructed to prevent volcanic mudflows from Mt. Tokachi. The surreal blue of the pond, combined with the surrounding lush nature and dead larch trees, creates an enchanting atmosphere reminiscent of a fairy tale.
The blue hue of the pond changes constantly depending on the season, time of day, and weather. In spring, the melting snow causes the pond to take on a slightly greenish-blue tint. In the bright sunlight of summer, the pond reflects a refreshing light blue. Autumn offers a magnificent contrast with the surrounding vivid fall foliage. And during winter, the frozen surface of the pond gets blanketed in snow, turning the entire area into a silvery-white landscape.
From November to April, the pond is illuminated, casting the blue world in a breathtaking light. With a walking path surrounding the pond, visitors can enjoy the various perspectives of the “BIEI BLUE” as they stroll.
