Shirogane Blue Pond

Shirogane Blue Pond

"The Shirogane Blue Pond" is a representative tourist spot of Biei, possessing a beauty that feels like another world. This pond is an artificial lake created during disaster prevention work at Tokachidake, and its dreamlike blue color captivates people. You can enjoy its changing expressions throughout the seasons, with particularly recommended visits on windless, sunny mornings. The secret to this blue hue lies in the mixture of aluminum-rich water flowing from "Shirakabe Falls" in the Shirogane hot spring area and the water from the Biei River, which forms colloids. These colloids scatter sunlight, giving the pond its blue appearance. Additionally, the hot spring water whitens the riverbed, enhancing the blue color. The view from the walking path is also breathtaking, allowing for a serene experience. Make sure to stay in Biei and enjoy this mysterious landscape.
