Shirogane Blue Pond

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 color changes when the sunlight hits it—so dreamy.
Photos look amazing even without filters.
That view of the dead trees standing in the water is really unique, with this quiet, mysterious vibe.

Otaru Canal

Otaru Port, which developed as a gateway for Hokkaido's settlement, saw an increasing volume of cargo over the years. To streamline its transportation, the "Otaru Canal" was completed in 1923 (Taisho 12). The canal, created by reclaiming the offshore coast, is characterized by its gentle curves rather than a straight line.

Otaru Canal has such a vibe.
The red-brick warehouses along both sides feel super retro—like you’re walking through a movie set.

Very convenient location, and it’s super practical to walk underground when it’s raining or too hot.
There’s a good variety of shops, but they feel a bit old and nothing really stands out.
It’s fine to walk through if you’re passing by, but I wouldn’t make a special trip just to come here.

Honestly, you just can’t go wrong here.
You get the ocean view, Rainbow Bridge, and Tokyo Bay at night.
You can just chill in your room and enjoy the view.
