Nestled in the picturesque town of Biei, Hokkaido, Shirogane Blue Pond is renowned for its mesmerizing blue waters that range from light turquoise to deep cobalt, depending on the season and weather. This captivating hue results from natural minerals, particularly aluminum hydroxide, suspended in the water, which scatter sunlight to create the pond's vivid coloration . Originally formed as part of an erosion control system following the 1988 eruption of Mount Tokachidake, the pond has since become a symbol of serene beauty . Standing dead Japanese larch trees emerge from the water's surface, adding an ethereal quality to the landscape.
