Shirogane Blue Pond
Be Moved by its Mystical Blue!
Step into another world at Shirogane Blue Pond, where breathtaking beauty unfolds before your eyes. This artificial pond was formed when water from the Biei River accumulated behind a block levee, originally constructed to prevent volcanic mudflows from Mt. Tokachi. Its incredibly captivating blue hue has made it a globally renowned natural attraction.
The pond's charm lies in its ever-changing expressions throughout the four seasons, creating a fantastical ambiance with its rich natural surroundings and stand-dead Japanese larch trees. In spring, the pond takes on a gentle, serene blue. Summer brings a refreshing contrast with the vibrant new greenery, while autumn offers a stunning collaboration with colorful fall foliage. In winter, the frozen pond is covered in snow, transforming the entire area into a magical, silvery white wonderland. From November to about April, the pond is illuminated at night, creating an enchanting and mesmerizing scene that you'll want to gaze at forever.
Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the promenade surrounding the pond, admiring the rows of white birch trees.
