Not far from the Blue Pond lies Shirahige Falls, or “White Beard Falls,” named for its foamy, white streams that cascade down the cliffs like a flowing beard. The falls emerge dramatically from beneath a volcanic rock surface and tumble into the Biei River below, surrounded by untouched natural forest. The contrast between the falls and the vivid blue of the river makes for a powerful visual experience.
