Shirogane Blue Pond

Be moved by the magical blue color of this pond!

This is one of the popular sightseeing spots that is representative of Biei. The beautiful blue water of the pond, the rich natural environment surrounding the pond, and the withered Japanese larch trees create a magical atmosphere. One of its attractions is the myriad views that the pond offers throughout the year. In spring, the pond turns a gentle, calm shade of blue; in summer, the blue of the pond and the fresh greens make a refreshing picture; in autumn, the leaves begin to turn red, so you can enjoy the hues of reds and yellows; in winter, the frozen pond is blanketed with snow, adding to the snowy landscape all around and creating an enchanting scene. There is also a promenade that encircles the pond, so you can also enjoy a leisurely stroll.
