What other travelers are saying about Biei Blue Pond
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.
If you are using car you will need to pay parking 500yen for the day so it is best to spend an hour or more to enjoy the scenery of frozen lake.
If you want to see some blue water, just walk further inside until you can hear a stream with a small dam.
Overall the scenery is quite enjoyable and recommended due to beauty of nature during winter although other seasons would be better.
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.
Shirogane Blue Pond in Hokkaido is famous for its stunning bright blue water caused by aluminum hydroxide reflecting sunlight. It's a bit off the beaten path, so having a car is recommended. The best time to visit is during autumn when the foliage adds a beautiful contrast to the pond. While the pond itself is small, the unique scenery and serene atmosphere make it worth a visit. It’s also a popular tourist bus destination and would recommend arriving early morning to avoid the crowds.
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.
