Shirogane Blue Pond, a wonder created by man-made and natural elements

#Japan Attractions Shirogane Blue Pond is a must-see attraction in Hokkaido. You can take a one-day tour with a local tour. If you go by yourself, you can take the JR Biei Station, transfer to the Dohoku Bus and walk 7 minutes to the Shirogane Blue Pond bus stop. The Blue Pond is not a naturally formed pond. In December 1988, in order to prevent the disaster of volcanic mudflow caused by the accumulation of Tokachi-dake after the eruption, several dams were built on the Biei River, and the Blue Pond is a pond formed by one of the dams. The tour guide explained that since the Biei River contains aluminum and the Sawa River contains sulfur, colloidal particles will be produced when they converge, causing sulfur and lime and other components that can block light scattering to be deposited on the riverbed, turning it white. Coupled with the sun's rays, the Blue Pond was born under the combined efforts of man and nature🤩🤩 The color of the Platinum Blue Pond varies according to the season, weather, and angle. On that day, it was a very soft green, with withered birch trees and verdant larch, forming a gradient of colors, which was beautiful. The Biei River flows in from the side, and the Tokachi Snow Mountain in the distance is looming. Under the sunlight, it has a unique charm🥂
