All Reviews of Shirogane Blue Pond

A dreamlike spot with mesmerizing light and shadows, as if you're in a secluded paradise. It's just... too crowded.

When I came to Biei, Hokkaido, what I looked forward to most was seeing the dreamlike Blue Pond. Walking through the woods, I saw the clear, captivating blue-green water. When the sunlight shone down, it reflected the dead trees on the surface, making me feel as if I had stepped into a fairy tale.

Surrounded by woods, it was quiet and relaxing. When a gentle breeze blew, the scenery felt even more tranquil. Although there were quite a few visitors that day, I still couldn't help slowing down and quietly enjoying the natural beauty.

This visit to the Blue Pond not only left me with beautiful scenery, but also became an unforgettable stop on my trip to Hokkaido.

Oh my gosh! The vivid blue before my eyes was so beautiful it left me speechless!! It felt like stepping right into a computer wallpaper, so dreamy it almost didn't seem real.

The clear blue water and reflections of the dead trees created mesmerizing layers of blue in the sunlight. It looked beautiful no matter how I photographed it.

No wonder it's packed with people every day—everyone comes to see the legendary “Blue Pond” with their own eyes.

Although it was absolutely overflowing with visitors that day, the moment I saw the view, I still thought—it was worth it!

I took a sightseeing bus from Furano and finally arrived at the dreamy hidden gem of Hokkaido: Shirogane Blue Pond!

In the sunlight, the water turned a stunning Tiffany blue. As the light shifted and the viewing angle changed, the blue of the pond showed mesmerizing variations in depth and shade. It sparkled beautifully and was truly breathtaking!

The water at the Blue Pond has a dreamy, deep blue color, and it shows different shades depending on the weather and light. It’s stunningly beautiful. With the dead trees in the pond and the peaceful scenery, it feels like a fairy-tale world. It’s a natural beauty in Hokkaido you shouldn’t miss.

The color changes when the sunlight hits it—so dreamy.

That view of the dead trees standing in the water is really unique, with this quiet, mysterious vibe.

The dead trees against the blue water make for a really distinctive scene. The color changes depending on the weather—on a cloudy day, the blue isn’t as intense.

The beauty of the Shirogane Blue Pond is beyond imagination. Surrounded by forest, whether it's summer or autumn, the reflections of trees and sky on the water give this place a peaceful and mysterious vibe.

The pond is formed by spring water rich in aluminum hydroxide from the upstream Shirogane Onsen area mixing with the Biei River.
