What other travelers are saying about Biei Blue Pond
Visited at the end of April and it is the best time to visit. The water is absolutely bright blue and it is indeed breathtaking!! Experience the natural beauty of the sparkling crystal blue water. The store nearby even sells blue ice cream, blue beer, blue cream puffs. A must visit!
The Blue pond really does live up to its name! Aoiike's vibrant colour, caused by the excess aluminum hydroxide is an interesting feat. It was pretty busy when we visited in the early afternoon. There's also a trail around the pond, but it's all muddy with puddles due to the weather. I recommend bringing boots that you don't mind getting dirty.
The bus fare from Asahikawa is 1600 yen, one-way. Thankfully the pond is free to visit, and there are restrooms. It's worth visiting this natural wonder if you're in the Asahikawa area.
Views in early May. The lake is pretty cool, it appears the color varies a lot day by day. Paid parking lot. Okay emphasis on the soft serve, it’s amazing… the blue is like a ramune flavor and the cone was coffee flavored. I’ve tried many soft serves in Hokkaido and this cone was easily top 3 lol
Very very out of the way and average. Tourist trap for sure. Nice natural area that isn’t spoilt by tourists but the shacks selling snacks seems unnecessary. There was active construction going on at the time at the end of April but the pond could still be walked around easily.
I was curious about this attraction because of great reviews but I don’t get it because the pond is frozen 😆 I actually thought that the pond was frozen blue until we arrived… then I realized that the attraction they mentioned is about the lights show😂 it’s freezing cold and we have to wait like 10mins for the show to start and that’s the “blue” pond. I’m a bit disappointed actually because the itinerary of this tour wasn’t that detailed and not as per expectation.
