    Shirogane Blue Pond

    Blue Pond, also known as Platinum Blue Pond due to its proximity to Tokachidake Shirogane Hot Spring, exhibits subtly changing water colors throughout the seasons and weather conditions. From mid-May to late June, under clear skies and calm weather without rain or wind, the pond water appears as a clear and transparent cobalt blue, resembling a dreamlike scene. During other seasons, the hue varies, ranging from ordinary blue to blue-green tones. In winter, when snow covers the surroundings and the pond's vegetation, the landscape takes on a magical quality, even before the water freezes. (No Admission Fee Required for This Attraction) Patchwork Road to Blue Pond takes approximately 25 minutes by car.
