What other travelers are saying about Biei Blue Pond
This was a wonderful, magical pond with trails that stretched to the gorgeous dam. Parking is free down the street if you're willing to walk the pretty trail along the road to the entrance (there was a long car line for the parking lot we avoided). It was pretty crowded but oh so beautiful! we did not get something from the gift shop but it looks like many enjoyed it.
This is a scene that one of the MacBook theme picture were shot. Best timing to view it is before end of December when there is snow but the lake isn’t frozen and covered entirely by the snow.
No ticket required, just a 500 yen parking fee if you drive your own car. Be careful the road will be super sliding in wintertime.
If you are not a nature person, i would not recommend here. Place so secluded and need to go so far and deep into the mountain. Just skip.
If you are a nature person, a must place to visit.
Despite the whole long journey to reach here place is nice.
On autumn you can see some trees becoming orange. Although most of them already no leaves.
Not so blue, maybe it because of the sky color (not so sunny)
On autumn so chily cold here, bring more clothes
The place is small walking trail, you can literally just come to this place and take 5 minutes walk and go. But i spent like 40 minutes here to enjoy the fresh air and view.
You can skip the ice cream. Its coca cola / sprite taste. If you want, get the vanilla it taste better.
There is small restroom, but a bit smelly.
No need to buy ticket, but you gotta pay for parking space.
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’s really amazing one. What a beautiful scene! It’s better to visit it by car and if not possible, check the bus timings as the last back to town train usually is before 17:00.
