Shirogane Blue Pond
The Shirogane Blue Pond, located near the town of Biei in Hokkaido, is a stunning natural attraction famous for its otherworldly, vivid blue waters. The pond gets its mesmerizing blue hue from natural minerals, such as aluminum, that are carried into the water from nearby hot springs and reflect sunlight in a unique way. Surrounded by birch and larch trees, many of which stand submerged in the water, the pond creates a striking and surreal landscape that changes with the seasons and lighting conditions. In autumn, the contrast of golden leaves with the blue waters is especially breathtaking, while in winter, the pond and surrounding trees are often dusted with snow, transforming it into a magical frozen scene. The Shirogane Blue Pond has become a popular spot for photographers and nature lovers alike, offering a tranquil yet unforgettable experience in Hokkaido’s natural beauty.
