What other travelers are saying about Biei Blue Pond
241014: The true beauty of this lake really depends on the weather. Fortunately, the weather is great during my visit and I & my friends can admire the three layers of blue with the autumn leaves.
There is one 500 yens parking space, one small toilet and ice cream bar, selling exclusive blue ice cream.
It exceeded my expectations! Gorgeous pond. I highly recommend booking a day trip to this place. I also recommend the pork bun, the ice-cream and the milk there. All of them were delicious.
In our recent trip, unfortunately it was raining so we cannot really enjoy the whole experience. It is a romantic place, serene (as long as not crowded). They also sell local products such as ice cream, pork bun and milk.
Although the morning sun caused a fair of reflection the pond is beautiful . Coming to see it during autumn gave it a lovely glow of gold. However it maybe better to come in the afternoon when the sun does not cause a glare
Great place to visit if you are driving around. The blue water surrounded by birch and spruce trees is stunning. You don’t need much time here though as there is nothing else and when you time it badly you run the risk of sharing your experience with 3 bus loads of touristy (as we did). So I suggest to do this as a quick stop on your way somewhere else. If the weather is right you’ll get some amazing shots.
