Platinum Blue Pond

The “Platinum Blue Pond” has a beautiful scenery that makes you feel as if you have come to another world.

It is an artificial lake created by the accumulation of river water in the block dam placed on the Biei River during the construction to prevent volcanic mudflow on Mt. Tokachi. The pond, with its mysteriously beautiful blue color, is a world-famous tourist attraction.

The surrounding natural environment and withered larch trees create a fantastic atmosphere, and the different expressions of the four seasons are also attractive. In spring, it turns into a gentle and gentle blue, and in summer, the contrast with fresh greenery is refreshing, and in autumn, you can enjoy co-starring with autumn leaves. And in winter, the snow on the frozen pond becomes a snowy landscape, creating a fantastic silver world. From November to April, the illuminated night view emerges, and the fantastic scene that seems to draw you in is so beautiful that you can watch it forever.

It is also a luxurious time to take a walk along the promenade that surrounds the pond and look at the birch tree-lined path.
